CT 248XXL, Shelf speaker   as in K+T 5/2010

   
Technical data
- impedance: 8 Ohm
- sensivity (2,83V/1m): 84 dB
- size (HxWxD): 1018 x 308 x 388 mm
- frequency range (-8dB): 18 - 25000 Hz

The high-end version 248 XL was derived from theCT248.

This speaker was improved again with this particular kit:bass is now supported with a Seas Excel W22 EX001.

All three speakers are controlled by a passive crossover.

An excerpt from the Klang+Ton review

... "This speaker is not only more in control and more complete than we expected, it's a completely different speaker. To be full of energy and relaxed at the same time is fairly rare. Guitar strings, bass strings, drum heads - everything is tight, explosive and powerful, but at the same time also completely relaxed and easy-going. Vocals are reproduced realistically and without even a hint of unnatural harshness. The bass is deep, punchy, tight and fast, exactly as it is required by the music. The tweeter resolves beautifully and sounds more expensive than it is. The transitions between the individual drivers are seamless, everything is flawless. Power handling is astonishingly high and the sound remains pleasant even at the limit: the limits are noticeable but the ears are not hurting; you just reduce the volume a little. The extension of the musical stage is just right, exactly how it should be and the performers are are staggered accurately. This all might sound quite unemotional, but means nothing else than the illusion of being there and the gooseflesh that goes with it."
