- The Tethys Speakers Are the Main Speakers in the Titan System
All Titan speakers are made differently
from any other loudspeakers both inside and out. Access to the best technology
and precision tools allowed us to combine superior cabinet materials, the
most elaborate crossover components available, new driver materials, and
top grade copper cabling into one majestically designed package.
One-of-a-kind cabinetry is constructed using precision-cut interlocking
(N-Flexª) braces found only at Earthquake. The internal bracing is wrapped
with 16 layers of rare steam-bent cherry wood and topped with a crown that
is finished in a slow and steady black-lacquer coating and drying process
that lasts for more than 30 days. A 1.5-inch silk-dome super tweeter sits
atop the tower, rescuing tiny sounds that are lost with conventional designs.
Electroplated and silk-coated drivers made with low-ash paper cones deliver
fast, accurate, and true bass response.

- " The Mighty Titan is
dressed to impress, with an Exquisite Cherry Wood Finish made of 16 layers
of 1/8" Laminates. The Layers are steamed & bent to shape for maximum
dampening factor; thus optimizing sound quality and minimizing wall absorption
of the cabinet. This exotic piece is topped with a balck laquer dual cabinet
that makes the tower look like it just came straight ouot of the Fifth Element..."

- My next stop is the Earthquake
Sound demo, which is showing off its 400-pound Titan speakers encased in
cherrywood cabinets the size of coffins. Joseph Sahyoun, Earthquake's lead
designer and president, is proud of - even smug about - his mammoth creation:
"When we were done with this thing," he says, "even we were impressed."
And I have to admit, I am too. I'd never given Norah Jones a second thought
until I heard "Come Away With Me" pumped through the Titans. Their 800-Hz
supertweeters reveal the subtlest nuances - the piano's minor-key timbre,
the cymbals' shimmer. Discerning the seductive way Jones smacks her lips
between measures, I instantly develop a schoolboy crush.
As if such rich sound weren't enough to sell the Titans, Sahyoun brags
about the speakers' ability to take a punch. He repeatedly pounds one of
the exposed woofer cones with his fist while telling me, "Our market is
anyone with an annual income of $1 million." (Wham!) "Football players."
(Wham!) "Baseball players." (Wham!) At that point he trails off, unsure
who else might pay $25,000 for speakers … and then beat on them.

- The Tethys Speakers Are the Main
Speakers in the Titan System
Earthquake's Rhea Sounds and Looks Beautiful
This center-channel loudspeaker is truly revolutionary. It contains three
1.5-inch soft-dome tweeters, each of which is rated for 30 degrees of dispersion.
The outputs do not overlap until a distance of exactly 15 feet. In addition
to the tweeters, the Rhea has four 6-inch full-range high-speed drivers
powered by massive magnetic motors. The motors are specially designed to
produce long and accurate excursions that are critical for a high-SPL system
such as this especially one that is delivers such deep bass. Earthquake engineers
uniquely tuned the combinations of drivers for uniform dispersion of sound
waves over a large area with a broad frequency range. The drivers are mounted
in a horizontal array, based on a classic design theory developed in the
1960s.
With its aerodynamic cabinet finished in ten layers of piano-black lacquer,
the Rhea is a unique speaker. This unconventional aerodynamic design reduces
or eliminates internal and external reflections and refractions found in
typical rectangular designs. The cabinets' smooth and curved surfaces allow
air to move non-turbulently around and within the cabinet, delivering the
smoothest and most accurate mid- and high-frequency effects that you will
ever hear.
