The TS-1 presents music with body, texture, and nuance—faithfully reproducing the harmonic detail and subtle tonal shadings within each performance. It’s high sensitivity ensures easy pairing with low-wattage tube amplifiers. Few speaker designs can match the immediacy, sound staging, and transparency of a properly executed open baffle design.

The TS-1 is built around a single high efficiency 8” full range field coil driver (G.I.P. Laboratory 4189) based on classic Western Electric theater technology, the gold standard among audio enthusiasts. Behaving like a resonant wooden instrument, the TS-1’s lively open baffle cabinet contributes to the speaker’s tactile dynamics.

Each system includes beautifully hand crafted cabinets, stands, and a dedicated G.I.P. 7V field coil power supply. The result is a compact speaker with a classic aesthetic, capable of creating a realistic listening experience in small to medium sized rooms.
