A Genuine
Classic
Drivers and crossover are housed in a real-wood veneered cabinet with
stand-out product in the ‘70s hi-fi market. Beneath the rich rosy-tinged
walnut or black veneers lies a further technological achievement. While
the original 770 reduced midrange colouration through the use of the
BBC influenced technique of a thin-wall cabinet damped by mass loading
with bitumen pads, the new 770 features a twin wall sandwich of
high-density MDF and particleboard bonded by a layer of high damping
glue. This results in a cabinet with panel resonance well below audibility,
allowing the drive units to do their job unsullied by cabinet colouration at
all frequencies.
support that aids the dynamic performance of the bass unit and reveals
the micro-dynamics of the musical performance. Finally, the internal
absorption layer of acoustic foam and fibre has been specially chosen
and adjusted to absorb reflections inside the cabinet without
overdamping the bass quality.

To repeat the 770’s brochure claims of ‘staggering bass definition and response;
lack of colouration; uncanny imaging; information retrieval; transient attack; depth
and perspective; accuracy and linearity; speed and dynamic range’ is only to hint
at the real performance of the 770. Instead, we prefer to focus on the 770’s
uncanny ability to reveal the true depth, emotion and drama of whatever music
you care to feed to it.
We are sure you will find that a classic design has been reborn.
