Talis S 300
Floor-standing speaker

The S 300
The S 300 is a compact floor-standing speaker of great beauty. This unique loudspeaker is just 21 cm wide and 105 cm tall, and typifies the philosophy behind the entire series in terms of technology and sound quality: heavy cabinets made of solid aluminium, high-end speaker drivers and cross-over units, and an open sound image, devoid of distortion, with a wide dynamic range and superb bass response.
The newly developed drivers are the key to the S 300’s incredible performance. It incorporates two high-end bass drive units which generate a deep, high-pressure bass even at very high levels.
The mid-range unit provides perfect control of the full vocal range, and has a lively, dynamic character. The new super treble dome unit is airy, fast, dynamic and without any trace of edge or hardness.
The sophisticated three-way cross-over unit has an effortless ability to control all three frequency ranges superbly, ensuring an open, ultra-spacious sound stage.
For outstanding bass response it is of crucial importance that the speakers stand on a firm, secure base, free of resonance, and are isolated from the sub-surface. That is why we have developed a new design of spike for these speakers. The heavy spikes are ma-chined from solid stainless steel, can be dismantled, and terminate either in pointed metal cones or plastic glide pads for delicate floors.

Case Construction
Under normal circumstances a relatively small cabinet volume limits the loudspeaker’s bottom limit frequency and maximum sound pressure in the bass range. However, this does not apply to the S 300 because the net internal volume of the aluminium housing is much greater than that of a comparable wooden one. At the same time our design engineers have developed extremely sophisticated High-End bass units fitted with high-performance magnet systems; they are also capable of extremely long linear travel thanks to their triple surround. The drivers are tailored precisely to match the cabinet, and their stiffened cones generate an incredibly deep, high-pressure bass which re-mains stable even at very high volume.

Drive Units
The mid-range driver is an ingenious design which provides perfect control of the full vocal range from 300 to 2000 Hz, while its lively, dynamic character creates an outstandingly natural impression. The embossed and stiffened cone is totally devoid of resonances, while a special triple surround eliminates any trace of overshooting.
The new super treble dome unit forms the perfect complement, extending the transmission range up to 30,000 Hz and beyond; it is airy, fast, dynamic and without any trace of edge or hardness.
The sophisticated cross-over unit is assembled using the finest available components. Precisely calculated, fine-tuned for optimum cone travel and transmission characteristics, it has an effort-less ability to process extremely high levels, thereby ensuring that all three frequency ranges are superbly controlled.
Talis loudspeakers are built to uniquely high standards: every detail is faultlessly implemented – even inside the cabinet.
REVIEW & AWARDS

It’s rare for a speaker to do everything right while sounding neither dull nor emotionless. Equally rare is the ability of speaker manufacturers to cleverly harness the advantages of aluminum as a material while almost entirely overcoming its drawbacks. With the Talis S 300, T+A has created a masterpiece that will bring its fortunate owner long-lasting joy, both visually and acoustically"

"Talis S 300
The floor-standing Talis S 300 speakers from T+A left a deeply musical impression. We experienced these speakers as a set that effortlessly allows every bit of emotion from the recording to flow freely into the listening space. The spacious soundstage, the relaxed musical signature, and the excellent imaging properties regularly gave us goosebumps. If we were to describe these Talis speakers as delightful, warm, full, sweet, and German, you might have entirely different associations. However, this perfectly reflects how we experienced them at home—if we could sneak a moment alone with them."

"Profile is Key
Slim speakers with design appeal are often not taken seriously by many high-end enthusiasts. The Talis successfully challenges this prejudice—because, in this case, aluminum serves a purpose acoustically rather than being a mere design choice. This speaker aligns with modern demands, both visually and sonically, like few others. It’s the ideal speaker for all genres and extended listening sessions."

"Full Metal Jacket
The new T+A TALIS S 300 floorstanding loudspeaker astonishes with its combination of an elegant, sculptural silhouette and the kind of high-end, superior sound image one would expect from much larger designs. It’s a sound that inspires, and a major part of the secret is the all-aluminum housing. "
