The second edition provides even better sound performance and unbeatable value to performance ratio much beyond its price level!
We have once again raised the bar incorporating significant constructional changes which affected the sound performance. Now you will love the B-40 SE v.2 even more…
TLIE (Taga Low Interference Enclosure) - our beautifully handcrafted enclosure is now even more rigid and neutral to vibrations and colorization. We have increased MDF walls thickness from 15 mm to 18 mm.
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 2nd generation TWCD-I (Taga Woolen Cone Driver) with different composition of cone materials - the cone is lighter so can move faster generating better defined, more dynamic and faster bass performance and more rich, spacious and sweet mids. The redesigned voice coil utilizing thicker and purer flat wire offers even higher power handling and longer operation time without increased temperature.
New configuration of the drivers: the tweeter is positioned closer to the mid-woofer than in the previous version to provide even better smoothness between high and mid frequencies.
The dramatically upgraded crossover to meet new refinements and configuration of the drivers: more delicate and rich treble, better defined midranges and more dynamic bass.
The Platinum B-40 SE v.2 is available in an additional new luxurious finish: natural Real Wood African Walnut Veneer with high-end clear gloss piano lacquer.
The Platinum B-40 SE v.2 showcases all the qualities of dedication and love of music, groundbreaking developments in speaker design and technology which have inspired TAGA's designers and engineers.

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: |
