Model C - a small hi-fi loudspeaker, with a large-loudspeaker sound.
MonoPulse impulse accuracy - and compact, but 250 watts max and deep bass.
Custom made in ten colours - The backs are stitched-leather.
That large-loudspeaker sound - is because we noticed Model A listeners enjoyed more volume, than with standmounts we tested.
It is about energy spectrum - Large loudspeakers produce energy across a wider spectrum, but smaller units often relatively more in mid-band.
Our ears are more sensitive to mid band, but it is not always relaxing.
They are shown above right in Slate cloth. This pair have optional rubber feet, but the standard is M8 spikes, in steel or nylon.
Specifications @ £1,145, E1,445
Dimensions. 46cm high x 18cm wide x 22.5cm deep, and 7Kg each.
Power handling. 250 watts maximum and 150 watts continuous power.
Frequency response. From 32Hz to 22kHz.
Impedance. 8 ohms nominal, 7.5 ohms minimum.
Sensitivity. 86dB.
The high impedance makes them accept different solid-state amplifiers, and is ideal for valve amplifiers. It reduces the measured sensitivty, but these speakers are efficient so give plenty of volume.
We recommend solid state amplifiers have a minimum of 35 watts into 8 ohms, and valve amplifiers about 18 watts.
Shown left is the bi-wire terminal panel and the rear port. (The latest spec now has a full stitched-leather back.)
Drive units. This compact package has a 135mm, Kevlar-coned, MF/LF units, giving solid bass to 32Hz.
The neodymium 28mm HF drive units are ferrofluid-cooled and silk-domed, giving a top-end response to 22kHz.
Crossovers. The patented asymmetric crossovers use only film capacitors and air-cored coils.
The HF circuit is fourth-order, with 24dB per octave attenuation from 4kHz, giving superb protection of the HF units.
The LF circuit is first order.
Mounting. The Model C is designed for 50-60 cm stands of shelves.
They have fully adjustable M8 spikes, but can also be supplied with rubber feet. or mounted using Blu Tack or similar.
