  • AVAILABLE IN DARK WALNUT VENEER, PIANO BLACK LACQUER OR PIANO EBONY (ADD $400)

    The Gold 100 is a larger stand mount speaker featuring a 6.5" RST® bass driver and C-CAM® ribbon. Our proprietary 6.5" design provides higher overall efficiency with dynamic headroom to deliver impressive bass extension and control. The uncomplicated 2-way configuration renders complex material with tonal accuracy and perfect timing.

    Models share a trinity of enhancements including an evolution of the C-CAM Rigid Surface Technology (RST) bass cone; tighter production tolerances for their advanced C-CAM ribbon tweeters, and a smarter more functional grill design. The Gold range offers greater transparency, consistency and visual sophistication to devotees of sound and style.

    OPTIMIZED TWEETERS 

    The Gold series ribbon is derived from the Platinum C-CAM ribbon transducer. We’ve discovered that the new model offers a consistently more open and transparent sound. The sense of greater detail and enhanced imaging may be attributed to the closer matching of tweeter pairs in each system. The ribbon’s fabulously efficient wide-band design reproduces authentic tonal character of frequencies beyond 60kHz, as well as the inherent nature of the mid-band vocal region to which the ear is most sensitive. 

    LATEST GENERATION RST BASS DRIVERS 

    The Gold series bass units utilize an evolved version of the dimpled RST cone surface introduced on the Gold GR and GS ranges. It takes the form of a continuous radiating dish devoid of the central voice-coil aperture. Instead, a longer voice coil and larger motor sit behind the cone in a more efficient drive assembly, offering greater drive force, longer excursions and lower distortion, producing cleaner, more extended and accurate bass definition. Listening tests have demonstrated  Gold sounds more open and dynamic, with a soundstage that is both taller and wider. 

    BOLT-THROUGH DRIVER FIXINGS 

    Single bolt-through driver fixings have the dual effect of improving cabinet rigidity while further reducing vibration at the driver/cabinet interface. Drivers are mounted on a single tensioned through-bolt, which is secured to the back of the cabinet. The bolt acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box coloration, and it removes the need for conventional driver fixing, decoupling the driver and front baffle to eliminate a further source of unwanted resonance. 

    ENCLOSURE 

    The cabinet is further aided by radial bracing and bolt-through driver fixings, which eliminate unwanted vibrations and internal standing waves. Gold’s HiVe II reflex port is shaped to have the same effect on air flow as a gun barrel on a bullet. Rifled grooves inside the port help to accelerate the flow and reduce turbulence, so air moves in and out of the port more efficiently for a faster more dynamic bass response. 

    NEW GRILL DESIGN 

    Gold’s magnetically-fixed floating cloth grill replaces the full-length metal grill of its predecessor. On floor standing models, more of the cabinet’s luxurious grain-matched depth of finish is exposed and the design offers a classier, more discreet look, enhanced by a brushed aluminum badge. 

    CROSSOVERS 

    Comprising high quality polypropylene lm capacitors, air core and laminated steel core inductors, individual driver crossovers are mounted on a dedicated panel accessible from the underside of each speaker. The adjacent speaker terminals are gold plated to maintain signal integrity and contact reliability. All Gold speakers are wired internally with Pure ow® Silver cable.
