Telesto Design
E
arthquake Sound presents its next creation from
the TITAN series, the Telesto towers.
Their sleek, slim exteriors are matched only by their
performance. The main 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.
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" Kevlar 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
Telesto Driver Units

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 that harbor the T1 tweeter and the M2
midrange. The T1 and M2 are placed at about 3 feet
elevation from the base. This allows the speaker to
produce linear response that is not obstructed by furniture
and that is more direct to a sitting listener. The M2 is a
1.25" super midrange that delivers upper mids, and the T1
is a 1" silk dome with a Neo motor structure.
The design of 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.
