Talis R 300 Bookshelf Speakers By T+A HiFi

The R 300 is a compact two-way bookshelf monitor with reference-level sonic performance. The entire cabinet is made of aluminum, hand-brushed, and anodized in high-gloss black or silver. Although only 21 cm wide and just 37 cm tall (8.3″ x 14.5″), the R 300 generates a sound of quality usually reserved for substantially larger loudspeakers, which is due to the design of the cabinet and the use of ultra-modern drive units. The High-End drivers are based on the technology of the speaker’s big sister – the S 300 – but with optimized bass driver parameters to match the small cabinet. The bass response of the R 300 is phenomenally good; we’re unaware of any loudspeaker which is capable of such precise, low (35Hz), natural bass from a cabinet as compact as this one.

Drive Unit Technology

T+A’s felt it was particularly important to combine the advantages of the two-way principle – namely very spacious, natural reproduction – with outstanding bass response. Bass response lets down the majority of small bookshelf speakers, so for this reason, T+A invested tremendous effort in ensuring that the bass reproduction of the R 300 is totally convincing. The cabinet is made entirely of aluminum and therefore has a relatively large net internal volume. The High-End drive units are based on the technology developed for the speaker’s big sister – the S 300 – but with optimized bass driver parameters to match the two-way design and the small cabinet. The refined High-End bass unit is fitted with high-performance magnet systems, while the triple cone surround enables extremely long cone travel. The embossed and stiffened cones generate an incredibly deep, high-pressure bass even at very high levels.

Ultra Wide Range Treble

The “Ultra Wide Range” treble dome is positioned in the center of a precisely calculated waveguide whose contours are machined into the solid aluminum baffle itself. In conjunction with the 170 mm High-End bass driver, this design creates exceptionally consistent radiation characteristics, giving an absolutely convincing impression of space combined with very precise imaging. The sound stage is transparent, totally uncolored, open, and with a powerful response in the low bass. The cross-over unit maintains a linear frequency response, expands the low bass range, and ensures outstanding dispersion characteristics.

The LS 300 Speaker Stands

The LS 300 speaker stand has been designed specifically for the Talis R 300. The bottom panel of the R 300 is screwed securely to the stand, ensuring that the combination is stable when erected. The loudspeaker cables can be routed very neatly down through the profiled tube of the LS 300, while the screw-fitting spikes or furniture glides provide sufficient space for the leads under the base plate. With its dimensions (HxWxD) of 67x26x33 mm, the LS 300 is the ideal addition to the R 300 for free-standing installation.
