			OVERVIEW:
			
			The Torus places an 18” light-weight, super-stiff, multi-axial 
			
Carbon Fibre cone at the end of a phenomenally powerful 
			
push-pull motor. Unlike a common subwoofer that relies upon a 
			
high hysteresis suspension to reset the cone to zero, the cone 
			
position in the Torus is dictated at all times by electromagnetism. The result is low frequency sound with absolute precision and integration across the frequency range.
			
 
			
At the heart of the Torus is the core, a formidable 35.2 pound 
			
precision machined steel column, with the two large rare earth 
			
magnets of the push-pull motor either side. The core is the 
			
reference point for every other component in the design, acting 
			
both to focus structural borne resonance directly to earth with 
			
zero reference to the outer enclosure and also a high capacity 
			
heat sink.
			
 
			
In the Torus, where huge amounts of low frequency energy are 
			
generated, thermal efficiency is a critical concern. In addition to 
			
the steel core, Wilson Benesch developed a Boron Nitride coil in 
			
collaboration with Oxford University. Boron Nitride offers the high electrical conductivity required by any coil design, but its thermal conductivity supersedes that of copper by several orders of 
			
magnitude.
			
 
			
The elegant and minimal toroidal shape of the Torus is a 
			
testament to the use of purist geometry in every component. 
			
Whether it be often earth shattering low frequencies in a home 
			
cinema, or the attack and dynamics of a drum solo, the Torus 
			
never misses a beat or fails to deliver the physical impact that we know and love of low frequency sound.
			
			REVIEWS:
			
			"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”
