Gold 8
Product description
The largest active Gold, and the one that earns the range its name: a 203 mm Dual Concentric on 300 W of Class A/B, crossing at 1.5 kHz and reaching 54 Hz at ±3 dB — low enough to work without a subwoofer in most rooms. At 14 kg it needs a stand that means it. The single point source is the argument: no vertical lobing to walk into, and the same balance whether you sit or stand.
