About the Connoisseur C-9
The C-9 is the flagship model of the Energy Connoisseur series, offering a sleek and elegant design. It incorporates a tapered crossover system, directing midrange frequencies to the uppermost woofer while the other two woofers handle low frequencies. The speaker includes a dual baffle structure made of MDF and Spherex, which aids in resonance control. The grilles are magnetically attached, eliminating the need for traditional pressure pins and reducing vibration. The C-9 is praised for its ability to produce deep, clean bass and a wide soundstage, making it suitable for both stereo and home theater setups.
