Does anybody know if it has threaded holes in the bottom so I can bolt it to a stand?

Since it's not mentioned under "features" on the web page I doubt it. But you can always buy a proper mount...  |

Too bad you guys didn't put that tweeter between the mids, as it would have made for a great LCR setup! The tweeter placement above the midrange drivers is a critical part of what lets the C2 work well off-axis. The C1 uses a single midrange driver and a single tweeter aligned vertically, to provide a best-case scenario for horizontal off-axis directivity, because multiple sources are not interfering as you move off-axis. The C2 required the use of two 3" midrange drivers (to prevent the speaker from growing taller than necessary as it would if a 4" or 5" midrange driver were used), so the two midrange drivers are clustered together as closely as possible to keep off-axis interference between the drivers to a minimum, and we preserve a 90-degree horizontal listening window (where the +/-3dB frequency response specification remains valid) through this arrangement. The observation that the C2 is essentially a T1 on its side is quite correct, although not pushing the bass response of the system quite as deep as the T1 allows the C2 to have a higher overall sensitivity of 92dB - quite high for a speaker of its size and type without horn-loading. The T2 tower already has +3dB higher sensitivity than the T1 (91dB vs 88dB @ 2.83v/1m), which is the same effect as doubling the available amplifier power. Our customers (y'all) said go big or go home, and we didn't go home. |

I love the look, it's different and very purposeful. I can't stand glossy finishes on speakers. Woodgrain vinyl is tacky, Real wood is nice but expensive and cosmetically & sonically unpredictable. The size of the C2 is just right too, it blows away competitors' offerings for center channel, just look how whimpy ELAC uni fi is in comparison. i've gone through many center channels with the same impression of weak, tinny sound.
My C2 and T2's are supposed to arrive tomorrow, so i'll get to see them first hand and will post review on the T2 board.

What's all this about looks, imo it's very attractive, besides, when the movie starts, who the hell is looking at speakers.....

One year on- been living with the T2s & C2. Skinny- overall great sound. Looks great. no glossy reflections in the room. center is just below the projector screen and T2 are just outside the 10'dia screen. If these were glossy, the light bleed would be reflecting rather annoyingly. still don't get the attraction some have for glossy cabinets. As far as listening goes- the ribbon tweeters are smooth, imaging is great, everyone thinks stereo is emanating from the center channel. These speakers are very very good when played at most listening levels, however their weakness, if any, is they can lose accuracy at very high listening levels like at or near reference in my system AND they are not the best at very low volume levels as it seems they need to be pushed a bit to come alive and produce good separation. Oh, and forget the grills. they tend to muffle the ribbons.
