The C80
Substantially the largest C Series model, the slim elegant, floor-standing C80 is very much the version of the radical new Reference Series model 104/2 for the cost conscious audiophile. The 25mm tweeter is common to both, though the complex double bass unit coupled cavity system used in 104/2 is here simplified, with a conventional single unit. The famous B139 bass unit provides exceptional quality and unusual extension for the cabinet size. A new polypropylene-coned B160 provides high sensitivity and power handling with low coloration through the midband.
The C80 is the second C Series model to benefit from KEF's unique 'conjugate load' crossover network design, originally developed for Model 104/2.
