It features a front-ported cabinet that stands 11.4 inches high, making it suitable for various setup configurations. Designed primarily for higher volume playback, the C3 excels in genres such as disco, hip-hop, pop, and rock, providing a robust sound experience. The sound profile is noted for a pleasant emphasis on the bass, combined with vivid upper mids and highs, contributing to an engaging listening experience. While it may not strictly adhere to traditional speaker design ideals, it offers a fun and exciting sound that is likely to appeal to many listeners. However, some critiques point to a slightly loose bass and coloration in vocals, which may not satisfy all audiophile preferences.
