Christian Gather and Thomas Schmidt designed the CT 236 transmission line speaker with Tang Band W6-1530 coax driver. Due to the small depth this speaker is easy to integrate even in smaller rooms.

Excerpt from the review in Klang+Ton 3/2008:
... after a remorseless run-in over the weekend ....:
"Well, on Monday we inevitably had to switch of the CD player. I decided to have sit and listen. It was admirable how the two 17 inch drivers handled even the most forceful bass attacks. As expected from a good transmission line the bass was tight and out of the blue. But that's not all: the mids were extremely clean and detailed - no colouration, nothing was exaggerated and nothing left out. The music was reproduced as it was recorded. "
...
" Again, the most fascinating aspect of listening to a coax speaker was the imaging; width and depth was typically point source making it easy for the listener to virtually wander around the listening room." ...
