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.

The Absolute Sound 3/2020 Editor´s Choice

From a manufacturer known best in North America for its electronics, digital sources in particular, comes the Talis S 300 a three-way, four-driver floorstander, with solid aluminum enclosure, that excels in all musical genres. The S 300 manifests a complete absence of tonal coloration that makes it easy to discern among similar vocal and instrumental timbres. High-frequency reproduction is open and airy, and orchestral weight is satisfying.
The reproduction of spatial cues is first-rate. The S 300 responds well to bi-wiring; integrating a subwoofer is rarely necessary but possible.

Silberpfeil
Es kommt nicht oft vor, dass ein Lautsprecher alles richtig macht, aber dabei weder langweilig noch emotionslos klingt. Ebenso selten gelingt es Lautsprecherbauern, die guten Eigenschaften des Werkstoffs Aluminium klug zu nutzen und die Nachteile nahezu komplett zu besiegen. T+A ist mit der Talis S 300 ein Gesamtkunstwerk gelungen, das seinem glücklichen Besitzer optisch wie akustisch  lange Freude bereiten wird.

Talis S 300
De vloerstaande Talis S300 luidsprekers van T+A hebben een hele muzikale indruk achtergelaten. We hebben deze luidsprekers ervaren als een set waarmee elk stukje emotie uit de opname vrijelijk de luisterruimte in vloeit. Het ruimtelijke geluidsbeeld, de ongedwongen muzikale signatuur en de uitstekende imaging eigenschappen geven ons met regelmaat kippenvel. Wanneer we deze Talis’ zouden betitelen als lekker, warm, vol, lief en Duits krijgt u er misschien hele andere associaties bij, maar dit is wel zoals wij ze bij ons thuis hebben ervaren. Als we stiekem een momentje met hen alleen konden zijn.

Profil ist Trumpf
Schmale Lautsprecher mit Design-Appeal werden von vielen High Endern nicht für voll genommen. Die Talis kämpft gegen dieses Vorurteil erfolgreich an - weil Alu hier klanglich Zweck und nicht Selbstzweck ist. Dieser Lautsprecher passt optisch und akustisch zu heutigen Ansprüchen wie kaum ein zweiter. Die ideale Box für alle Genres und lange Hörsessions.

Harte Fakten
Die T+A Talis S 300 sind Lautsprecher, mit denen man gleichermaßen entspannt im Wohnzimmer als auch konzentriert professionell hören kann. Unter 20.000 Euro habe ich solche Qualitäten noch nicht erleben dürfen.

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.

Eine andere Art des Hörens
wenn meisterhafte Ingenieurskunst und der absolute Wille nach Neutralität zusammenfinden, entstehen Produkte, die einen sehr lange beleiten können. Der Redaktionsschluss drängt, ich hätte gerne noch mehr Zeit mit der Talis S 300 verbracht und ich beneide jetzt schon jeden zukünftigen Käufer, der diese Zeit haben wird.

Full Metal Jacket
Der neue Standlautsprecher Talis S 300 aus dem Hause T+A verblüfft durch die Kombination einer eleganten, skulpturesken Silhouette und eines pegelfesten, souveränen Klangbildes, das man eher von weitaus größeren Schallwandlern erwarten würde. Ein Klang, der begeistert. Die Talis ist eine Schönheit- und trotzdem (oder gerade deswegen) gut. Sagenhaft gut.
