Obviously, an audiophile's fervor is but a pale shadow when compared to the Real Thing. But although our quest is not anywhere near as meaningful as that of a Dervish or Sufi, it makes the pursuit of audio truth no less worthwhile. After all, truth, and its liberating effects, comes in many shapes and guises. It came in the form of Ta'us horn speakers, the top of the British Impulse Loudspeaker line.
Horns naturally bear their own seductive seeds for audio dementia.
Gordana's first impulse upon seeing the speakers was to lovingly caress their facades, with their impressive English Cherry woodwork. This elegant wooden facade, with a cross section in the shape of an elongated ellipse, was specially developed for Impulse by the Design Council of London. And behind this facade, cum rigid baffle, stands the black painted, MDF speaker enclosure itself. Moreover, you don't have to move out once it moves in, as the Ta'us relies on being close to a wall for horn reinforcement. The Ta'us is at the top of the Impulse product range.
