KUDOS Cardea 20 Loudspeakers - Natural Oak
RRP: AUD 8,800.00
Shipping cost: AUD 50.00 Australia wide !
If you’re seriously tempted by the sound of our Cardea Super 20A but have a little less budget to play with, then the Cardea C20 is the one to audition. Built along very similar lines to the Super 20A, it offers a “gratifyingly spacious but precisely defined soundstage” (Hi-Fi News) and “jaw-dropping transient abilities” (Hi-Fi World). In common with all of our Cardea series models, the C20 is a terrific communicator.
EXCEPTIONAL, CUSTOM-MADE DRIVERS
All four Cardea series models feature our Crescendo K2 fabric dome tweeter, a development of SEAS’ superb (and justifiably costly) Crescendo unit re-engineered exclusively for Kudos. Kudos’ bespoke drivers are custom designed in collaboration with leading European experts, SEAS.
The C20’s use a custom 180mm mid-bass unit with a die-cast chassis with large open areas, a coated paper cone and a 26mm voice coil designed for low distortion, high linearity and low crossover modulation.
LOW-ORDER CROSSOVER AND MINIMAL – DESIGN FOR A PURER SOUND
The purer the signal, the truer the sound. A Kudos loudspeaker preserves a clean and clear audio signal by favouring a minimal design with our trademark, low-order crossover.
The C20’s superb quality components, including Mundorf inductors and resistors, and ClarityCap capacitors, are tailored specifically for Kudos to stringent tolerances.
FIXED BOUNDARY BASS-REFLEX LOADING
The C20’s fixed boundary bass-reflex loading is key to a more agile, nuanced, textured and detailed bass reproduction while minimising room interactions.
