| The TX-T1 is designed according to the succesful TX-T2 speaker, using a 1'' Silk dome tweeter instead of the rotating tweeter on-top. This makes for a more afforable design, while at the same time enjoying smooth and yet detailed treble reproduction. The sound is airy and the stereo image perfectly defined thanks to the silk dome of the TX-T1s.
Perhaps the most distinctive piece of engineering on the TX-T2s is the original 'free air' tweeter. Sitting in its own ultra-rigid, spherical, aluminium enclosure on top of the 113cm tall cabinets, the 25mm, silk-dome, Neodymium tweeter can be rotated to face ear axis, making room integration far easier. Free of unwanted diffractions due its shape, this tweeter technology delivers clear, transparent sound with optimum dispersion.
Two 16.5cm 'Crystal fibre' mid/bass drivers use tightly woven fiberglass whose mechanical properties - light yet extremely stiff - delivers a linear and fast response, which a phase plug only enhances. Moreover, the form works with the surround to damp unwanted standing waves, so coloration is reduced to an absolute minimum.
The magnetically shielded drivers (which means the speakers can be placed clsoe to a TV) are backed by heavy duty, powerful magnets, delivering exceptionally high efficiency levels. With a sensitivity rating of 91dB/W/m, the T1s are a supremely amp friendly designs.
Each driver is housed in its own damped chamber, with the two woofers having smooth airflow ports. The cabinets are incredibly heavily braced at critical points to offer as acoustically dead an enclosure as possible. Such extensive strengthening of the cabinet panels maximizes the dynamic capability of the designs.
The cabinets also offer extremely small, exceptionally narrow, though deep, footprints. This shape delivers drastic reductions in diffractions - especially from the front baffles - an incredibly three-dimensional soundstage, and far clearer stereo imaging. |
