T&A Criterion TAL90 compact speaker in silver

Quote T&A:

"The  TAL  90  is  a  classic  compact  two-way  monitor  with revolutionary  internal  features,  setting  new  standards  in its  class.Quite  simply,  this  small  speaker  provides  an unbelievably good bass response. Its depth and precision are  unique  for  a  cabinet  of  this  size,  but  so  also is  its absolute  bass  output.  This  low-frequency  performance has been achieved with the help of a cabinet design with phase  compensation  duct  and  absorber,  and  a  simply outstanding  bass  driver.  In  order  to  allow  extreme cone travel,  this  driver's  cradle  is  very  deep  and  features narrow struts, made possible by its construction in high-strength pressure cast aluminium.The  resonance-coated  aluminium  membrane  is  very  stiff  and  torsionally  rigid,  making  it ideal  for  reproducing  the  entire  mid-frequency  range.  The  massively  powerful  magnet drives a long-throw 35 mm coil. The driver features a phase plug carefully calculated and optimised for this particular cone design, with the result that the frequency response is as straight as a ruler far beyond the cross-over frequency. The tweeter is a newly developed annular design which boasts revolutionary qualities: its effective range extends right up to 50000  Hz  and  beyond,  although  its  resonant  frequency  is  below  500  Hz.  This  provides undreamt-of  advantages  when  tow-way  speakers  are  being  designed.  The  cross-over frequency  can  be  selected  for  the  most  favourable  range  of  the  bass/mid-range  dirver, without any tendency for the sound to become constricted. We set the annular tweeter to work  at  2000  Hz  and  above,  and  the  result  is  a  spaciousness,  dynamic  capability  and transparency of reproduction which  has never before  been achieved in speakers  of  this size.  As  on  the  larger  Criterion  models,  the  TAL  90's  bass  and  tweeter  output  can  be adjusted."
