ENJOY THE KUDOS AUDIO TITAN 505 AT THE BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW 2019
Kudos Audio's Titan 505 standmount loudspeaker was previewed at last year's Bristol Show and, now that it’s in full production and ready to own and enjoy, it will be in full song in Room 206.
Kudos Audio’s Titan series initially launched with the top-of-range Titan 808. Now, the range has since grown to include four models with each one boasting an impressive complement of technologies unique to the series, including world-class drive units created exclusively for Kudos by renowned Norwegian specialists SEAS.
Like the Titan 707 and 606 floorstanders, the 505 is a two-way design. It shares the same superb quality K3 tweeter as the 707 and 606 - a unique SEAS-Kudos design precisely tailored for the Titans. Enhanced features include an improved magnet system with copper shorting rings, an entirely new resonance chamber and a new face-plate profile, all engineered to deliver an even sharper, more dynamic and musically detailed performance.
The 505’s twin mid-bass drivers are also unique to Kudos, featuring high quality coated hard paper cones to ensure superior stiffness while at the same time preserving the natural damping properties of paper. The 505, as with the other Titans, sports an isobaric arrangement in which the second mid-bass driver is carefully positioned internally back-to-back with the first, delivering significantly improved midrange clarity and bass response, as well as a reduction of bass distortion.
All four models in the Kudos Titan series can be run either passively or actively. The crossovers are engineered such that they can be by-passed to enable active operation with selected systems including Linn Exakt, Devialet Expert - and now also the brand new Exposure VXN.
See Kudos Audio in room 206 on the second floor, partnering the 505s with the new Linn Selekt.
Additionally, be sure to also check out room 212 on the second floor where Exposure will be previewing their new VXN active analogue crossover with the Kudos Titan 606 floorstander.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
