 Their sleek, slim exteriors are matched only by their performance. The main Eearthquake Telesto cabinets are built from multi-laminations of steam bent, high density fiber board. These laminations offer extreme rigidity as well as lower cabinet vibrations. These single pieces of egg shaped walls offer minimum wall reflections and allow the cabinets to be transparent, dynamic, and neutral. The cabinet is finished with multi-layered high gloss piano black lacquer, further exemplifying its luxury quality. To maximize floor coupling in low frequencies, the Telestos are equipped with XLT EQ8 extra long excursion subwoofers that create tight, fast, and accurate low frequency extension. The EQ8’s are mounted 90º off-axis from the front of the speakers. This allows for a slim profile while delivering massive bass response. With a name like Earthquake, audiophiles tend to expect more, and the Telesto delivers. The mid-band of the Telestos are equipped with an array of type loaded two 4” carbon fiber drivers. The array type design calls for identically designed stacked speakers to play into the room. The array shares the three dimensional space in front of the speakers, this allows the sound to travel in tubular shaped spheres. In an array type design, SPL losses due to the distance between the speakers and the listeners are 4 times lower than conventional design. The dual carbon fiber drivers are fast, neutral, and voice tuned. The Telestos are crowned with two conically shaped epoxy cabinets. They are the M2, a 1.25-inch super midrange that delivers upper mids, and the T1, a 1-inch silk dome with a Neo motor structure. The M2 compression driver is horn loaded and the phase plug is tuned to create a wide angle of dispersion. The M2 cabinet is extremely thick and conically shaped, once again for minimum reflective waves. Designing the T1 tweeter module on top of the cabinet in a separate enclosure achieves perfect positioning for wider dispersion and better image stability. The T1 is tuned to allow correct phase integration with M2, the midrange driver. The enclosure designs are optimized to deliver the ultimate in sound quality. Each Telesto is voice tuned to deliver a transparent performance. As AV front speakers or a conventional stereo system, the Telestos will deliver a benchmark in performance and style that is unprecedented.
