The Vintage Classic VIII SM standmount loudspeaker evokes the essence of the 1970s with its nostalgic, traditional ‘bookshelf’ design. These speakers feature hand-finished rectangular cabinets adorned with a walnut veneer, complemented by a deep black baffle and rich gold trim. This model maintains the aesthetics of vintage audio gear but doesn't compromise on modern acoustics. It includes a sizable 250mm (8”) IsoFlare driver and a specialized BassTrax porting system, which optimizes the 360-degree low-frequency wavefront when the speakers are elevated on stands. Perfectly blending retro design with cutting-edge technology, the Vintage Classic VIII SM provides both visual elegance and superior sound quality, making it an excellent addition to any audio enthusiast's collection.
