Mid-size Vintage Classic Gold SP floorstander with a 10" IsoFlare driver, 94dB sensitivity, and bass response reaching 28Hz. The twin-cavity BassTrax port fires downward for room-friendly placement and deep, controlled low-end performance.

The Gold SP package adds neodymium magnets, a deep cryogenically treated hand-wired crossover, and gold-plated ETI terminals, while retaining the walnut veneer and vintage aesthetic of the Classic collection. Crossover frequency is set at 750Hz.
