T+A Elektroakustik Talis R 300 Bookshelf Loudspeakers

A two-way in an aluminum cabinet with a 7″ bass driver. Comes with a matching stand, the T+A LS 300.

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 R 300 is a compact standmount, 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. A high-end mid-bass drive unit generates deep, high-pressure bass and a beautiful midrange.

The “Ultra Wide Range” treble dome unit is positioned in the center of a precisely calculated waveguide whose contours are machined into the solid aluminum baffle itself. This design creates exceptionally consistent radiation characteristics, giving an absolutely convincing impression of space combined with precise imaging. The soundstage is transparent, totally colored, open, and with a powerful response in the low bass.

A sophisticated two-way crossover ensures an open, ultra-spacious soundstage. The LS 300 stand has been created specifically for this speaker, and is a perfect match.
