The T+A Criterion S 2100 CTL is a floor-standing speaker that embodies the principles of the Criterion series, which has been renowned for its innovative transmission line technology since its introduction in 1982. This speaker is part of a series that includes models like the S 2000 CTL and the top-of-the-line S 2200 CTL, each differing mainly in cabinet size and driver dimensions. The S 2100 CTL features a 3-way transmission line design, ensuring powerful low bass and high sound quality. It includes two 17 cm bass units, a 15 cm midrange driver, and a 25 mm high-frequency tweeter. The speaker's impedance is 4 ohms, with a sensitivity of 88 dB and a frequency range of 25 Hz to 35,000 Hz. It is rated for a nominal power of 200 watts and a music power of 270 watts. The Criterion S 2100 CTL is designed to provide excellent sound dispersion and imaging, thanks to its Constant Directivity (CD) acoustic unit, which includes the midrange driver, tweeter, and an 'organic baffle' for optimal sound reproduction.
