"Best of all was the Kudos, which combined a pretty neutral tonal balance with good clarity." "Its more neutral tonal balance and fine grasp of dynamics make it a musically rewarding partner, particually where rhythm is a vital component of the music."

Cardea C1
The C1 is our entry level Cardea loudspeaker but its build quality and performance is far ahead of what anyone would consider to be entry level. The 12 litre, reflex ported cabinet is constructed from 18mm high density MDF specifically chosen for its acoustic properties and beautifully finished with real wood veneer. Both of the drivers are neatly rebated into the cabinet and the grille is mounted via magnets to maintain a clean appearance.
The main driver is an 18cm unit manufactured with a cast chassis for high stability and a coated paper cone; this offers high power handling with a clean bass response and very smooth frequency response. The tweeter unit is a 25mm fabric dome unit more usually found in significantly more expensive designs and has a superb quality of treble. It provides excellent integration with the main driver and this allows a low order crossover to be used for minimal electrical interaction with the signal.
The C1 is a solid and dynamic loudspeaker with an open and accurate midrange and a subtly detailed treble. It maintains a very stable stereo image and will play at surprisingly high levels without compression, or distortion. In addition the easy 8 ohm impedance means that the loudspeaker will work well with a wide range of valve and solid state amplifiers.
