The C80 corresponds to the "297837cedf2721e3c8b9fa2a31f94c2a Cantata" with B 139 passive diaphragm (the oval diaphragm under the passive round B200 speaker)and the B200 SP1054 (the one with the stronger magnet) as a woofer. Due to the passive diaphragm, the listening impression is different from that of a bass reflex box or a bass transmission line horn. The tweeter was the T27 dome speaker- at least in the earlier "Cantata". The two-way crossover was the Kef DN13 SP 1017. All crossovers from 297837cedf2721e3c8b9fa2a31f94c2a from the 80s are characterized by a strong slope of 18db /octave, which relieves the neighboring speaker. The listening impression of the 297837cedf2721e3c8b9fa2a31f94c2a speakers is "restrained" because of the rather low sensitivity, but they have been particularly popular with classical music fans. You need rather high amplifier powers to generate a loud listening pressure. They are more likely to belong to the hi-fi upper class than to the real "high-end" range
