Should a sax sound like a sax? Should you be able to hear the
bassist's fingers dance down the neck of his Fender Precision? And what about hearing and
feeling the impact of a rim shot? Hey, if hi-fi audio is your goal, you should be able to
hear all of this stuff and more. The CDTAUDIO sound doesn't fatigue; there's just
music-effortless, untiring, and above all, clear. The CL-609s have no annoying midbass
boom like most stock speakers. And the bass was real, the treble crystalline, the sound
transparent. This stuff is serious high fidelity. The CL-609 drivers are actually none
other than the highly regarded CL separates, also from CDTAUDIO. The main
difference between the coax and the separates is the 609's distinctive Tweeter. The
installer takes the tiny ferrofluid cooled tweet and snaps it into a patented swivel mount
on the front of the grill. With this cool setup, you can install the CDTAUDIO
like a drop-in coax and still
aim the Tweeter like you would in an expensive custom install. Slick, huh?
But this speaker is about music, not gimmicks. We're talkin' sweet sax, accurate bass, and
real piano. Ya know, a good acoustic piano sound is a tough goal to achieve for the
audiophile; the piano is difficult to record and even more difficult to play back. And
yet, from Elton John to the classical stuff, the CL-609 allows a piano to sound like a
piano. And we believe that's the way it should be.
