Ambitious
The Reference 8 K benefits immensely sonically from the solid, multi-stiffened cabinets made of multi-layer laminate, which keep sound-reducing resonances away from the loudspeaker drivers used. In the low and midrange, we use our most technically advanced and advanced drivers. We take advantage of the excellent material properties of aluminum-ceramic cones refined with tungsten particles, which are characterized by their enormous stiffness combined with high, internal damping - and all this with very low weight and extended frequency range. The excellent 25 mm dome tweeter with aluminum oxide ceramic diaphragm is used in the high frequency range. Sound-optimized crossover components and the highly effective base design with Bass Guide ensure the highest possible fidelity. The Reference 8 K is equipped with a high-quality biwiring/ biamping connection terminal, allowing the woofer and mid-high range to be driven separately with different amplifiers or with specialized cables. 24 carat gold-plated, stable screw terminals with a capacity for cable cross-sections of up to 10 mm2, ensure optimum signal transmission. The levels for the midrange and treble can be finely adjusted at the connection terminal, depending on personal preferences or room acoustic conditions.
Craftsmanship
We develop and manufacture the loudspeaker systems of our Reference K Series in our factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region. This is the only way we can maintain the necessary quality standards, minimize tolerances, eliminate any defects, and keep the high sound requirements for our top products. The Reference 8 K cabinets are made of high-quality multi-layer laminate and undergo a complex finishing process: the high-gloss "Piano Finish" surface sealant is applied, sanded and elaborately polished in twelve work steps. It gives the Reference 8 K cabinet an overwhelming depth effect. As an alternative, we offer the Reference 8 K in an even more refined and visually truly impressive variant: the cabinets in cherry real wood veneer with "Piano Finish" are pure craftsmanship and inspire with their lively grain and warm color tone. Acoustically optimized fabric covers, which elegantly hold on the baffle by magnetic fastening, round off the noble appearance sovereign.
Fine combination
For a perfect connection with your amplifier(s), you can use the CantoLink 600 speaker cable, which is available in our online store. It is a high-end speaker cable, developed by our partner in-akustik, which tickles the best possible sound quality out of the speakers. Experience your music in a whole new way via the Reference 8 K and enjoy consummate sound in a classic stereo setup. If you're looking for the ultimate home theater experience: we can help you there, too. Simply combine the Reference 8 K with other models from the Reference K series and immerse yourself in an unparalleled sound adventure.
