The award-winning and highly acclaimed Platinum v.2 series is the progenitor of our flagship Special Edition SE series.
But the main similarities between the SE series and the Platinum series are only the shapes of the enclosures.
The high class finishes along with all the components and technology either totally new or deeply revised.
The TLIE (Taga Low Interference Enclosure) enclosures in a beautiful natural rosewood wood veneer with a choice of clear gloss or clear matt piano lacquer finishes, or in high class real piano (deep black and snowy white) are extremely rigid.

CABINETS
Figures show F-100 SE cabinet structure.
TLIE – Handcrafted Taga Low Interference Enclosures are made of high-quality 15mm thick MDF boards (12mm for Center speaker) with inside 12mm braces (floorstanding models) to increase stiffness and limit any unwanted speaker resonances. Platinum F-100 SE v.2 and B-40 SE v.2: increased thickness of MDF : 25mm for the front panel (only F-100 SE v.2) and 18mm for the walls. The shapes are perfectly crafted not only to look wonderful and modern but mainly to lower any unwanted vibrations, diffractions or turbulences, which can affect the sound performance. Acoustical damping material used inside cabinets eliminates problem of internal standing waves and bass-reflex ports are uniquely designed to reduce distortions to minimum.
HIGH-FREQUENCY DRIVER 4. TPTTD Pure-titanium dome Platinum F-100 SE v.2 and B-40 SE v.2: the 3rd generation TPTTD-II (Taga Pure Titanium Tweeter Dome) utilizes a differently shaped and lighter titanium cone – it allows faster, more accurate movement of the dome reflecting in more detailed and airy sound. The tweeter is located much closer to the midrange than in the previous version to provide even better smoothness between high and mid frequencies. Revised second generation TPTTD-I (Taga Pure Titanium Tweeter Dome) uses neodymium magnet for a higher efficiency and more precise and extended high-frequency response. Ferrofluid cooling and heavy duty CCAW and silver wiring voice coil help the tweeter to bear high power and its performance is very accurate, clear, smooth and detailed. TTP (Taga Top Plate) reduces standing waves effect and creates three-dimensional performance. In SE series TTP is rubber coated for more luxurious look and to provide even better effect on a sound performance.
MIDRANGE DRIVER (F-100 SE, F-60 SE, C-40PR) 1. T-YOKE / Pole piece
Heavy duty combo T-yoke, pure copper voice coil can stand high temperatures and power inputs. The still, bullet shaped phase plug (F-100 SE and F-60 SE) is to align the phase of the audio signal and to smooth the midrange frequency response. New 3” TPACD-I midrange driver (C40PR only). |
BASS-MIDRANGE DRIVER / BASS DRIVER
The redesigned voice coil utilizing thicker and purer flat wire offers even higher power handling and longer operation time without increased temperature - we managed to keep its weight unchanged. Both woofers were moved a little up in order to change bass definition and its dispersion. TWCD Taga Woolen Cone Driver with the oversized double magnet Φ110 / Φ100 magnet (F-100 SE, F-60 SE, B-40 SE), Φ90 (C-40PR SE) and Φ100 (S-40 SE) and heavy duty combo T-yoke, pure copper voice coil, allow for a high power handling as well as deep, precise and detailed bass performance (and detailed, rich and spacious midrange frequencies in mid-woofers models).
Platinum F-100 SE v.2 and B-40 SE v.2: a longer port tube to offer punchier and deeper bass. High quality, close-tolerance and precisely selected crossovers’ components and internal wires for absolute sound neutrality, high long-term power and reliability. Platinum F-100 SE v2 and B-40 SE v.2: |
