Descripción ⌄
Entry point to the Vintage Classic Gold SP range — a 2-way floorstander with an 8" IsoFlare driver in a classic real-wood cabinet finished in gold lacquer. 91dB sensitivity, 30Hz bass extension, and supertweeter-ready high-frequency reach to 34kHz. The Vintage Classic Gold VIII SP bridges the standard Vintage Classic and premium Vintage series, using an 8-inch IsoFlare point-source driver with a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter in a high-density birch plywood twin-cavity BassTrax ported cabinet. Gold SP upgrades include neodymium magnet systems, a hand-wired crossover with deep cryogenic treatment, gold-plated ETI terminals, and adjustable HF energy and presence controls. The walnut veneer cabinet retains the 1970s-inspired aesthetic of the Classic range.
