The TSM Millennium (TSM-M) is a classic mini-monitor design. It is at home on a bookshelf, when used as a center channel, or on stands as the main event. Unlike most minis, the TSM-M is surprisingly full bodied and dynamic. It can be easily fill most living environments with spectacular staging and truly organic sound.

In its class, the TSM-M is unparalleled with respect to test data and its user and amplifier friendly nature. The extremely rigid (sealed) enclosure features a 1-1/2 inch thick front baffle with internal and external resonance damping. The TSM-M crossover utilizes the highest quality components available (Caddock, Cardas, and Hovland) with a circuit topography as advanced as the VSM's. Two superb (and costly) drivers were selected for this speaker system, the Morel MDT 30 silk dome tweeter and the MW 164 pulp cone woofer.

This could be the finest mini-monitor in the world. A few reviewers have said exactly that, and bought them!
