This
uniquely small desktop
loudspeaker is manufactured and
shipped from Turning Point Audio
in the USA and represents a
breakthrough in the price vs.
performance category.
A life sized 3-D sound-stage
from only 2 watts is possible
with this small desktop monitor!
Shown
above sitting on the smallest
desktop we could find.
If you've
ever wondered what a real
audiophile loudspeaker would
sound like if you could
shrink it down enough to fit
it on your desktop... then add one to
the shopping cart now - while you
can still find out!
These small speakers have
been especially designed for
your desktop to give you the
following:
- Reference
sound quality similar to the
speakers in your listening room.
- Great
imaging that can make your
computer monitor disappear.
- No wall
effect or boominess thanks to a
hidden down firing slot that puts
bass on your desktop, not your
wall.
- Compatibility
with any amplifier, tube or solid
state.
- Efficiency
that can easily be driven to loud
levels with only 2 watts.
- Longevity
made possible by real wood
cabinets and hi-quality audiophile
drivers.
- Great
bass performance that gives you a
full rich sound without having to
use a sub woofer!
The
Trapezium design was the result of
lots of testing in the unique
environment of the desktop, where
often there is a wall directly
behind the speakers. The
speaker breaks the parallel surface
bond between it and the wall with
it's trapezoidal shape. This
breaks up standing waves both inside
and outside of the cabinet to
prevent boomy bass and preserve
clarity in the mid-range.
The
cabinet is designed around this
high quality 4 inch wide range
driver from VIFA
We mention that it has no boomy
bass, and you're probably thinking
it has no bass. Ha! It has
all you would want if you're
interested in flat extended
audiophile frequency
balance. No sub woofer is
required or suggested with this
pair of speakers.

Performance
"To
test these little jewels I
did the same thing I do with
all our speakers and took
them into our 17' x
27' cathedral listening
space, put them on some
stands and listened to
them.
They
were full, rich and glass
smooth. The sound was
not small, the
imaging was wonderful
and the speakers had no issues
filling the room while powered
by 6 watts of Single Ended
Triode magic. The bass
was frankly amazing, no sub
needed to make these sound
full!
Of
course on your desktop, the
near-field positioning would
make 2 watts more power than
you could likely use."
