The title of the series combines “Taunus” and “Town”. Taunus is a region of Germany rich in natural beauty, where the company was founded in 1972, and the second word is translated from English as “city”. According to the manufacturer’s idea, the philosophy of the new series should be expressed in combining the spirit of a modern city and nature. The company noted that all Townus speakers are equipped with modern technological components, and the appearance of the speakers turned out, as intended, classic, elegant.

All speakers are based on Titanium midrange/woofers, designed to provide dynamic and bass sound with powerful mids. Tweeters are made on the basis of alumina ceramics.
