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!

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.

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!
