Remarks[edit]

  • Top speaker of the "T-Series" in the last update level "E".
  • Seven drivers and a tall slim cabinet with modern shape design.
  • Great maximum volume and level deep bass.
  • Good room resolution with slightly too aggressive treble.
  • Very good workmanship with a cabinet without visible screw connections.
  • The "E" stands for Electronic Bass Equalization and is similar to the Canton DC system. Also, the T 230 E has no internal line drivers compared to its predecessor. The same applies to the entire Criterion T series. All E versions have this bass equalization and have no more internal drivers.
