Another winner from Philip Bamberg's hand...

The Series 2 TMM

The Series 2 TMM is a reference grade wide band 2.5-way floor standing loudspeaker with excellent bass down to the second octave. Best performance is achieved with high quality recordings and source equipment.

Intended uses are for 2-channel audio in moderate size rooms. A subwoofer is normally not needed, unless one is desired for video systems.

This speaker sets a new performance/cost standard for all Bamberg designs. We encourage you to compare its sound quality and value to any and all alternatives. This speaker is a real toe-tapper!

Cabinet

  • 1.25" thick MDF baffle, fully cross-braced at driver hole webs.
  • Acoustic scallops in woofer hole interior edges smoothes low treble response.
  • 3/4" thick MDF wall panels with fine exterior finish.
  • Three interior cross braces between opposing panels.
  • Convoluted foam bonded to interior panels.
  • 100% stuffed improves midrange clarity.
  • Deluxe gold binding posts, no terminal cups.

    • Crossover

  • A 2.5-way crossover behaves like a hybrid between a 2-way (woofer-tweeter) and 3-way (woofer-midrange-tweeter). The high woofer crosses over to the tweeter like a regular 2-way, so the dispersion pattern is essentially that of a single woofer MT layout, and there is no comb filtering as with a regular MTM layout.
  • The high woofer's naturally rising response is intentionally not tilted back to level. Instead, the low woofer is used to fill in the lower half of the midrange, where the high woofer is lacking. Acoustically, the two woofers sum similar to a first order crossover.
  • The extra '.5' low woofer is gradually tapered out beginning at a much lower frequency; doubling the power handling, and increasing sensitivity by 6dB.

    • Tweeter

  • Voice coil windings immersed in magnetic fluid increase short term power handling capacity and reduce the compression at high power levels.
  • High Definition precoated fabric dome tweeter with an integrated wide, precoated fabric surround.
  • Two part 6mm elastomer front plate with smooth, slightly elliptical wave guide made from elastomer provide excellent high frequency response and dispersion.
  • Substantial injection molded zinc rear chamber eliminates unwanted chamber resonances.

    • Mid-Woofer

  • Large magnet system for faster transient response. Heavy copper rings to reduce nonlinear and modulation distortion and increase overload margin.
  • Precision cast and surface treated reed/paper cone coupled to a natural rubber surround showing no sign of edge (midrange) resonances.
  • Extremely stiff and stable injection molded metal basket to keep the critical components in perfect alignment.
  • Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider to reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance to a minimum.
