Product Description: 

The Reference 2 is a commanding 3-way floorstanding speaker, delivering an unparalleled audio experience even in larger rooms. Advanced BCT (Black Ceramic Tungsten) cones, blend aluminum and ceramic structures infused with tungsten to offer an ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio. Tailored for high-end stereo sound and ideal for home theater setups, the Reference 2 uses the advantages of its smaller size to combine excellence and adaptability.

Edgeless Innovation

Taking note from the newest research, the Reference 2 implements edge-free cabinets, for optimal acoustics and stability. Crafted for modern elegance and superior sound, its four drivers are housed in a 3-chamber system, offering precise performance. With 219 mm woofers for deep bass, a 174 mm midrange driver for lifelike vocals, and a potent 25 mm black aluminum oxide ceramic dome tweeter, it is visually and acoustically exceptional.

Optimal Acoustics

The Reference 2 features flush-mounted drivers within a round baffle, enhanced by 3D ASW cover rings for optimal dispersion. The cabinets, crafted from multi-layer laminate, boast sophisticated damping and stiffening for resonance-free performance. With new crossovers employing epoxy resin-glass fabric composite and copper overlay, these speakers promise precise, high-quality sound without magnetic interference.

WBT nextgen™ terminals

Reference 2 speakers feature WBT's nextgen™ binding posts and gold-plated copper bridges, supporting single, bi-wiring, and bi-amping. Their low mass minimizes eddy currents, enhancing sound imaging. With an extended terminal plate offering level adjustments (Room Compensation), fine-tune midrange and tweeter sound pressure levels in 1.5 dB steps, optimizing for diverse room characteristics and listening positions.

Premium Construction

Crafted with meticulous precision in Germany at Canton’s Weilrod headquarters, the Reference 2 speakers promise consistent top-tier quality with first-class materials. They are available in three exquisite finishes, including walnut veneer treated with a unique sanding technique and matte lacquer, ensuring a captivating, refined surface that complements the series' high standards.
