The TS Voyagers have just shown me how great a nearfield experience can be. By nearfield, I'm mean "speakers within arm's reach".

First impressions when I connected them, "Oh damn, now I get what these reviewers mean when they callout a speaker having 'smooth' mids!". I just had to stop and listen to vocal and guitar-forward music a while, wow! Second impression: I can turn it up & get *that* level of imaging, and *that* close to me? I still find it shocking that I can turn up intense and busy music (think: Tool, Jinjer) so close to me and they disappear with no glare/harshness, no 'beaming', good width & depth, solid imaging.

Anything to be critical?
Coming from Buchardt S400s, these don't have the huge dynamics. Bass is tight and blends very well into the mids but it doesn't go super-deep and doesn't have a lot that "body". I attribute some of this to not having an amp that can really give these 83db speakers the juice they want. Highs seem a little less forward, but still detailed and nothing harsh or hard.

Along with S400s (a favorite "flavors" of speakers), I've now added these as a new 2nd fav "flavor". TS Voyagers are my go-to speakers now for nearfield listening, and often when I want to listen to vocal-forward music ... that 'smoothness' is just addictive.

And all for $850? That's such an incredible deal for such a beautifully built speaker that does so remarkably well. Did I mention how well-built they are? Damn, they are solid and just gorgeous.

Thanks Thomas!

For the desktop application, used with my Elekit TU-8200 tube amp, I love its ease on the ear and the way that there is enough detail to produce an utterly convincing performance. Overall presentation is smooth, clean and spacious with plenty of micro-detail. The top end is smooth without emphasis. The midrange is a little forward which brings the voice or instrument closer to the listener, hence more detail is easily discerned. The treble has a lively character which makes the music detail more engaging. Bass is well-controlled and relatively strong for its size. Its strength is to project a naturally toned sound to the listener without fatigue. If you value midrange quality, want something that’s more relaxing, and don’t want to focus on extreme highs and lows, and listen mostly at moderate volumes, this would be an ideal speaker. Only caveat is that soundstage could be a little shallow due to desktop environment. And also be aware that amp synergy with these speakers are essential to ensure musical enjoyment.

This is a great little standmount. I’m using it in a near field setup with a low powered class A tube amp. It is definitely ticking all the hifi boxes for me.

It is a warm, smooth, evenly balanced little speaker that stages and images incredibly well. It does a nice job with acoustic material, instruments and voice. The low end is tuneful and satisfying and I have not had the desire pull a sub into the mix.

Oh, and the price is only $850 US. Highly Recommended!

Clean well made speakers, big sound , sounds like a floor stander. My 35 watt tube amp drives them no problem . It can fill a large room with music. Give it a try,

Hi Thomas - I received my TS Voyager TL Speakers yesterday and hooked them up to my stereo system today.  I am listening to them
now and I am impressed!  Great sound from such little speakers!  

I have an old system that I am updating one piece of
equipment  at a time.   

My living room is set up so I am seated 16 feet from
the Voyager TLs.  My wife and I decided we like the sound without the foam baffles the best, to maximize the bass in our large room.   Canting the speakers slightly inward toward center also made a big difference in sound quality.  

The TLs  are set on top of my old Knight KN 2380 three-way
speakers on 17" stands (speakers circa early 1960s with 15" woofers and horn midrange) so they are just above eye level when we are seated.  

I have my gear going through a Douk Audio switch, so
I can use the Douk remote to switch between my two amps and the two speaker sets to better judge the sound.

The Voyager TL speakers sound great with both my 35-watt
per channel Dynaco Stereo 70 and my 120-watt per channel Kenwood KR-9400.

The Voyager TL speakers are a delight to listen to -
they make the old Knight speakers sound muddy in the treble and midrange, and bass heavy - quite an accomplishment for a speaker literally 1/4th the size of the old speakers.

Thanks again for getting me in the que for the TS A75
Amp.  I am looking forward to hearing the Voyager TLs with the TS A75.
