Brand new to Criterion Audio, Kudos Super 20A loudspeakers. Now available for demonstration in-store or on home trial. The ‘Super’ series Cardea range have a fabric dome tweeter – the Crescendo K2. They are also upgradeable to be active speakers. The Super 20A’s can use crossover and amplification builds from Linn, Exposure, Naim or Devialet.
Please visit our ex-demonstration sale page for a wide range of products.
We think that what is most exciting about the Super 20A is the ability to make it an active speaker. This unleashes so many options with this already fantastic stand-mount speaker.
The Super 20A is the Cardea series-topping floorstander. Limited on space in your listening room? There is a great alternative in the Kudos Super 10A, a high-performance speaker in stand-mount package.
Kudos’ one-of-a-kind drivers are custom designed in collaboration with leading European experts, SEAS. All four Cardea series models feature our Crescendo K2 fabric dome tweeter, a development of SEAS’ superb (and justifiably costly) Crescendo unit re-engineered exclusively for Kudos. The mid/bass drivers are unique to each model.
The drivers are precisely matched and seamlessly aligned to work together, as one, delivering an effortless ‘just right’ sound. You’ll know it when you hear it.
LOW-ORDER CROSSOVER AND MINIMAL DESIGN FOR A PURER SOUND
The purer the signal, the truer the sound. A Kudos loudspeaker preserves a clean and clear audio signal by favouring a minimal design with our trademark, low-order crossover. The Cardea Super series’ superior quality components are tailored specifically for Kudos to stringent tolerances. They include Mundorf’s MResist Supreme resistors and air-core inductors, and ClarityCap’s unique CopperConnect technology capacitors.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The Cardea series’ modernist aesthetic looks elegantly simple on the outside, yet the inside is reassuringly hard-working. In a true marriage of form and function, design and materials combine to effectively manage unwanted vibrations while leaving the natural dynamics of your music blissfully undisturbed.
ACTIVE CONFIGURATION (UPGRADEABLE)
Like the Titan series, our ‘Super’ Cardea models are configured to allow simple by-passing of the internal crossover for active operation with leading electronics including Linn Exakt, Devialet Expert and Naim SNAXO. Upgrading to active operation enables a variety of performance and personalisation enhancing capabilities.
