DESCRIPTION

This 4-way, dual 8-inch floor-standing speaker sets a new standard in sonic excellence. The innovative TiK bending trapezoid enclosure consists of only five surfaces, eliminating unwanted resonances and internal standing waves. Using the same wood-molding process developed by Scandinavian furniture builders, the Ti10K incorporates seven layers of MDF for a rigid acoustic platform that will complement room decor. Three-point floor spikes with threaded inserts provide optimal balance and stability, as well as tighter mechanical coupling to the floor, which eliminates resonances from the floor that can affect bass response and stereo imaging.

Separate 5-way, gold-plated binding post speaker terminals for each frequency range are mounted directly to the crossover for the short speaker cable connection, reducing the opportunity for signal loss. The Polypropylene low-frequency drivers are co-injection molded with the surround, resulting in an efficient transducer that minimizes flexing and distortion of the cone. The cast aluminum frames provides superior rigidity to maintain precise alignment of the driver elements, without disturbing the magnetic flux. JBL's Symmetrical Field Geometry(SFG) ensures a uniform, symmetrical magnetic field. The edge-wound ribbon voice coil and vented pole piece provide extended power handling with minimal distortion.

The pure titanium dome tweeter with rubber surround takes efficiency to a new level with a rear pressure vent and low-mass aluminum voice coil that uses the dome itself to dissipate damaging heat. The TiK high-frequency driver surpasses the competition in all critical areas: smoothness, transparency, efficiency, power handling and transient response.
