## About

The larger of Gato's two standmounts, and a deep one — 30.5 cm front to back against a 20.5 cm baffle, which is how a two-way this size reaches 40 Hz. A 170 mm mineral cone crosses to the same 38 mm ring radiator the floorstanders use, in the laminated FusedMass cabinet, rear-ported, with the range's rear-panel crossover adjustment for trimming the balance by hand. 86 dB into 4 ohms, 50 to 200 watts, 11.5 kg. Updated in 2021 with Jantzen crossover components and new binding posts. Gato no longer publishes a price for it — it is sold on request.
