The Caprice II
Caprice II is a high-quality bookshelf loudspeaker offering exceptional realism and precise stereo images from a compact, two-way enclosure. The system is intended for use in living rooms of average size with associated electronics giving up to 100 watts output per channel into 8 ohms, and will give peak sound pressure levels of up to 106dB.
- Flat frequency response from 68Hz to 20kHz
- Novel bass loading technique - an original KEF development-giving higher efficiency and greater power handling capacity at low frequencies
- High acoustic output.
- Precise stereo images - low coloration
- Computer-designed crossover network eliminates audible crossover effects
- Attractive appearance with grille removed
