Platinum F-90 SL

Description

Honey, I shrunk the Platinum!

You love the excellent sound of our award-winning and highly acclaimed Platinum series but your spouse would be furious seeing big boxes in your living room.

Here comes the solution!

The solution means no substitutions or compromises were used but just like in an old good movie: the Platinum series has just been shrunken to more compact, appealing SLIM version.

Surely we had to tune crossovers as well as add a passive radiator to the floorstanding model to ensure the same tonal character which the Platinum series is famous of.

To emphasize the slim appearance of the F-90 SLIM floorstanding model we have designed a new compact yet elegant plinth which helps isolating a speaker from a floor.

If you are seeking the high-end stereo speaker with an exceptional bass performance and an excellent total sound balance the Platinum F-90 SL is the best choice without draining your pocket.

Technology

PLATINUM SLIM Series

CABINETS


TLIE– Taga Low Interference Enclosures are made of high-quality 15mm thick MDF boards for floorstanding and the PLATINUM ONE speakers (12mm for Center, Surrounds and LCR speakers) with inside braces (floorstanding models) to increase stiffness and limit any unwanted resonances.

The SLIM 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 Gloss painting (selected models) - minimum 5 layers of paint plus 1 layer of the base coat.

 


Floorstanding models sit on solid bases with spikes that provide stability and good isolation of speakers from the floor.
