The Torus is a paradigm shift in our
expectations of low frequency sound. Recognised as one of the most important
developments in High End audio, it has been bestowed with awards from across
the world year on year.
In every way it is another Landmark
design that has huge potential for further development for the company. The
versatility of the design lends itself to a wide variety of systems where
dynamic control and critical frequency response are key parameters.
One of the most exciting facets of
this design is just how alive the primary loudspeakers become when the Torus is
added to the equation.
The Torus Infrasonic Generator is
completely original in thought and execution and manufactured by Wilson Benesch
in Sheffield. The finest materials in the world have been designed into this
product, materials technologies that you will not find in any other audio
product.
Strokes of genius are rare in any
field, but I think Milnes’ Torus qualifies
Jonathon Valin, The Absolute Sounds, 2007
To date, all audio designers
attempting to create low frequency sound have produced a variable of the
ubiquitous Subwoofer. In reality, the only option available to the consumer,
has been to opt for brand A’s version of the collection of parts, as opposed to
brand B’s version. As competition has grown, the variables have changed. Bigger
amplifiers to drive more in-efficient woofers or different cabinet materials,
essentially they have remained the same.
After three years of research and
development, the Torus System can be seen to offer a significant departure from
the Subwoofer solution for developing infrasonic sound. This product is so
different, that it clearly demonstrates the fundamental flaws in the design of
the Subwoofer and provides a real alternative for Music and Cinema effects.
adding the Torus transforms the timing
and integration of the instruments. The picked melody is more fluid, quicker
and more sinuous, the snare more snappy and insistent, the space around the
instruments much more apparent, with walls and a floor. Suddenly the music
takes on a feeling of underlying urgency that dovetails perfectly with the
lyrics.
