Bookshelf loudspeaker

The R 300

The LS 300

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.

Drive Units

We felt it was particularly important to combine the acknowledged advantages of the two-way principle - namely very spacious, natural reproduction - with outstanding bass response. It is the latter which lets down the majority of small bookshelf speakers, and for this reason we have invested tremendous effort in ensuring that the bass reproduction of the R 300 is totally convincing. The cabinet is made entirely of aluminium, 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 optimised 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

The “Ultra Wide Range” treble dome unit is positioned in the centre of a precisely calculated waveguide whose contours are machined into the solid aluminium 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 precise imaging. The sound stage is transparent, totally uncoloured, 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 - even when the speaker is set up on a shelf.

The fact that T+A's roots lie in loudspeaker construction is immediately apparent in the Talis R 300. It is flawlessly crafted and offers various placement options, with i-fidelity.net strongly recommending the LS 300 stand, available as an accessory. Above all, the over four decades of experience of the Herford-based manufacturer are reflected in the sonic performance, which is impressive for a loudspeaker of such compact dimensions. Without question, the Talis R 300 is designed for listeners with high standards. This i-fidelity.net review confirms that T+A fully meets these expectations."
