CDT 3™ Tweeter: The Classico CL-2 uses our patented CDT Cylindrical Diaphragm

Transducer (CDT 3) for high-frequency reproduction. On its own, the CDT 3, with its

cylindrically shaped high-frequency diaphragm, delivers smooth treble response across an

amazing 300-degree range! Once it's built into the Classico models, it provides a full 180°

high-frequency dispersion pattern (3kHz - 21.5kHz) (Figure 1). This allows substantial

positioning flexibility, since consistent high-frequency response is delivered both on and

off-axis. That means soundstaging and imaging are enhanced while there'll be more

"good seats" in your listening room, so more people will hear all the sound, particularly

important in a surround sound setup.

Proprietary AGA Technology

The Classico Series was designed from the outset to deliver the exceptional performance

AGA has become famous for while presenting a more traditional look. This makes it easy

to incorporate our Classico series in practically any environment.

All of the technology used in AGA products was specifically developed by Anthony Gallo

and cannot be found in any other loudspeakers. These technologies contribute to an

enhanced level of clarity, precision, and dynamic range not found in other speakers

anywhere near the CL-2's price.

Backwave Linearization and Synchronization Technology (BLAST): AGA's newest

technology is the implementation of the BLAST System. Benefits of the BLAST system

include an improved acoustic impedance match between the woofer/midrange driver and

the air within the enclosure, which simply stated, allows the speaker to play louder, deliver

exceptional bass, and perform overall like a speaker many times its size. Using our

engineering resources, we've been able to achieve this performance advance without

requiring more power from the amplifier! The BLAST system incorporates an enhanced

version of our S2™ technology that is strategically placed within a modified transmission

line.

Enhanced S2 with our Modified Transmission Line: In essence, our patented S2

technology tricks the Classico's precision woofers into performing as though they're in

significantly larger enclosures. The combination of the S2 technology and our modified

transmission line creates a speaker that sounds much larger than its actual size and

delivers real-life impact without ever sounding muddy.

Optimized Pulse Technology™ (OPT) Level 2: Wooden enclosures like the ones

incorporated in the Classico Series are not as rigid as the metal enclosures used in our

Reference Series products. Due to this disparity, the original OPT Level 1 system would not

have worked properly. However, we were able to develop OPT Level 2, which applies a

dielectric absorption countermeasure to eliminate sonic degradation from static charges

that typically build up on speaker wires and within the speaker itself.
