T+A Elektroakustik Talis S 300 Floorstanding Loudspeakers

A three-way in an aluminum cabinet with 2 x 7″ bass drivers.

Though known in the US mainly for its electronics, T+A Elektroakustik is known in Europe as, first, a loudspeaker manufacturer. The Talis line is in its 20th year, famed for being speakers crafted from solid aluminum, with a far larger internal volume than the dimensions would suggest. 

In addition to being very rigid even when relatively thin, aluminum allows the front openings to be machined “organically”, allowing them to smoothly match all the drivers. 

Though the S 300 is a compact floorstander, it offers bass and sonic performance far in excess of what you’d expect, in large part due to that hefty aluminum cabinet. The newly developed drivers are, of course, also crucial to this loudspeaker’s performance. Two high-end bass drive units generate deep, high-pressure bass. The midrange unit provides perfect control of the full vocal range, and has a lively, dynamic character. The new super treble dome unit is airy, fast, and dynamic,  without any trace of edge or hardness.

A sophisticated three-way crossover ensures an open, ultra-spacious soundstage. The heavy spikes offer a solid base, and are machined from solid stainless steel.
