C88-Reference Midfield point source monitor

The C88-Reference is an exceptional compact full-range main monitor that offers outstanding performance. With its unique coaxial structure, it is specifically designed for close listening distances, even as close as 3 feet. This makes it perfect for those who prefer to be in close proximity to their speakers while enjoying their audio experience.

One of the standout features of the C88-Reference is its two 8-inch bass drivers. These drivers confidently handle the lower octave frequencies, ensuring a rich and powerful bass response. Additionally, the carbon fiber membrane used in the construction of these drivers ensures distortion-free reproduction of higher frequencies, without adding unnecessary weight to the overall design.

In terms of the tweeter, the C88-Reference boasts our own specially designed 1-inch tweeter. This tweeter is engineered to provide exceptional neutrality and minimal distortion, resulting in a clean and accurate sound reproduction. Positioned slightly in front of the bass drivers, the tweeter’s waveguide construction optimizes sound radiation and eliminates any unwanted disturbances. This means that even at higher volumes, the movement of the bass drivers does not interfere with the projection of the treble frequencies, ensuring a seamless and balanced audio experience.

The C88-Reference has been put through rigorous testing and has emerged as the top performer in a coax monitor comparison conducted by the highly regarded trade magazine Stereoplay. It has garnered high praise from Klaus Laumann, who commends its ability to create a finely staggered image, deliver a live character, exhibit perfect timing, and offer excellent resolution. These accolades further solidify the C88-Reference as a truly exceptional main monitor that delivers unparalleled performance.
