CLC65: Exclusive Purifi-Powered Loudspeaker at €9490

Copenhagen Loudspeaker Company, the sister brand of Gato Audio, has introduced the CLC65, a full-size three-way loudspeaker described as the world’s first commercial design built exclusively with Purifi drivers. Designed, developed and built in Copenhagen, the CLC65 pairs studio-grade driver technology with a sealed-box, dual passive-radiator cabinet aimed at bringing reference-level performance into the living room. Gato Audio has spent two decades building a reputation for Danish amplification and source components, and the CLC65 marks the moment that expertise moves fully into loudspeaker design under its own dedicated brand.

Purifi Drivers From Top to Bottom

Every driver in the CLC65 comes from Purifi’s ultra-low-distortion lineup. A 33 mm Purifi PTT1.3 tweeter, fitted with a 147 mm waveguide, handles the top octaves with extended, transparent treble and wide, natural dispersion. A dedicated 6.5-inch Purifi PTT6.5M midrange driver uses a light, short voice coil and high sensitivity to keep vocals and instruments detailed even at low listening levels. Bass duties fall to a 10-inch Purifi PTT10.0X long-throw woofer, engineered for power, speed and depth without overhang.

Rear-Firing Passive Radiators Instead of a Port

Rather than a conventional bass reflex port, the CLC65 uses two rear-facing 10-inch passive radiators. Copenhagen Loudspeaker Company says this eliminates port noise, reduces sensitivity to room placement, and allows deep, controlled bass extension with a tight transient response, even at higher volumes. A carefully engineered crossover with air-core inductors, ClarityCap ESA capacitors and a Jantzen low-resistance C-core inductor sets crossover points at 250 Hz and 2 kHz, tuned for wide, consistent dispersion in real listening rooms.

Finish and Connections

The CLC65 is offered in satin white, satin black, or a satin walnut real wood veneer, with the walnut edition currently sold out and preorderable for December delivery at a €500 saving. Every cabinet terminates in pure copper WBT NextGen binding posts, chosen for their conductivity, mechanical stability and refined finish, and accepts banana plugs, spades or crimped cable ends in bi-wire or bi-amp configurations. Each speaker weighs 40 kg and measures 330 x 720 x 408 mm.

Copenhagen Loudspeaker Company describes the CLC65 as a collaborative effort between the established Gato Audio team and a new generation of Danish engineers and designers, and calls the model its bold first statement as a standalone brand. It arrives in a European high-end loudspeaker market that has been unusually active this year, with Scandinavian rival Marten also pushing into new territory via its Dexter series. Full technical specifications and ordering information for the CLC65 are available on the official product page.
