Like its baby brother Telesto, the Titan Tigris tower speaker descends from the reference speaker Titan Tethys. It is a dominant and striking evolution of the uncompromising Titan series.
Tigris results from five years of intensive development and the natural continuation of the research that began nearly 25 years ago with Joseph Sahyoun’s dream of the perfect loudspeaker. During the development of the original Titan, it was recognized that the combination of individually uncompromising units failed to achieve the homogeneous perfection and true-to-life reproduction Joseph so ardently desired.
The focus was broadened from optimizing individual technical details to approaching the design as a complex, intrinsic organism. A new generation of devices and components had to be developed. Organically, In-Circuit became the new paradigm for Earthquake. The drive units were developed in parallel and designed to work harmoniously together. Mimicking nature’s organic growth as closely as possible, the drive units grew up together instead of being introduced to each other as adult strangers attempting to connect through a complex and diluting crossover network.
This new approach, combined with Earthquake’s high-tech development and production facilities, offers a new degree of differentiation. Nearly all traditional speakers are assembled by manufacturers purchasing various devices from different suppliers. These individual units are combined into a whole using complex and expensive crossover designs that seek to compensate for and offset the drive units’ other characteristics.
Titan Tigris loudspeakers differentiate themselves by being engineered to work together from initial conception. This improves all design aspects, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
The result is a loudspeaker with constant energy dispersion. A speaker with no tonal shift regardless of volume. A speaker where detail is not achieved at the expense of dynamics. Titan Series straight-through, wide-open performance set a new standard for loudspeaker design.
