As a standmount evolution of the Concept 500 floorstander (HFC 426), the 300 embodies precisely the same design priorities. These concentrate on the cabinet, which uses a process called Gelcore to create constrained layer damping. Sections of MDF sandwich a layer of gel that acts to dissipate resonances. This is doubled up (three layers of MDF and two of gel) on all sides of the cabinet. To make this very solid structure more inert, computer calculated point-to-point bracing is used to stiffen it.
