The C40 was generous
in both volume and drive unit. Bass was plentiful and extended, and the design
was balanced to operate clear of room boundaries on open stands.
The two new 200mm
bass/midrange units used polypropylene cones.
Operating as a
2½-way system, the lower driver was used only at the lowest frequencies,
augmenting and extending bass output, substantially improving power handling
capacity, and assisting bass damping.
The C40 is
very reasonably priced for such a precisely engineered loudspeaker, considering
the size of the cabnet
The system would go
exceedingly loud, would handle plenty of power, and, with a generous bass
delivery, was particularly suited to the cost- conscious rock listener.
