CT8 LR
The CT8 LR is probably the most technologically advanced, custom installation home theatre speaker the world has ever seen or heard. At the heart of this slim, 3-way front channel speaker is technology borrowed directly from the flagship 800 Series; twin Rohacell® bass drivers, a woven Kevlar® FST™ midrange driver and a metal dome high frequency driver. Integration of the drivers is semi-active via the CT8 XO active crossover/equaliser.

CT8 CC
The CT8 CC centre speaker borrows its NautilusTM-inspired driver line-up from the CT8 LR front speaker. The same Rohacell® bass drivers, woven Kevlar® FSTTM midrange driver and metal dome high frequency driver are employed, but arranged with the twin bass drivers positioned either side of the combined midrange and high- frequency adjustable pod.

CT8 SW
Used with each CT8 LR, this passive subwoofer is designed to extend the front channel speaker’s bandwidth down to 13Hz, perfectly reproducing low frequency signals without compromising dynamics and imaging. Closed box loading, a 15" Rohacell® driver and a 70-litre MatrixTM-braced enclosure mean home theatre bass will never be quite the same.
