The C30
An immediate successor to the famous Coda III, probably the most successful loudspeaker of its generation, the C30 has a lot to live up to. The formula is similar, but the package has been significantly refined.
The 'flat' balance of the Coda III is retained so this 'large bookshelf' speaker is best suited to open stand mounting. However, the new polypropylene 200mm bass/midrange unit has greater midrange sensitivity and improved bass damping, so shelf mounting is a perfectly feasible alternative, maintaining a proper sound balance. Overall sensitivity is well above average at 90dB/W, 3dB better than its predecessor. Yet bass extension is remarkably impressive, due to the generous cabinet and bass unit. The C30 is broadly similar in size to the new C60 and Model 103.2, and provides much of the performance of these more expensive stablemates in a simpler package.
