Testimonials
I first heard the Trohet R’s when I went to friend’s house and on entering his living space had a “wow moment” when I heard the wonderful soundstage being presented by these speakers.
I contacted Atlas the next day and ordered a pair to be custom made. I’m an avid listener of jazz, in particular, and have always had good hifi components but these speakers, out of any I’ve ever owned, have just blown me away for their crystal clarity, depth and warmth of sound - they colour the music just as I imagine the artist would want it to be heard.
Thank you Atlas for introducing me to an amazing new listening experience. These speakers are for life.

Warm Yet Detailed
In a high-end audio landscape increasingly dominated by overly bright and analytical sound signatures, the Trohet R stand out by prioritizing a different approach.
Their exceptional ability to blend superlative detail with a warm, inviting sonic character sets them apart from the crowd.
Many enthusiasts describe feeling as though the music is enveloping them, a testament to the speakers' capacity to convey the emotional essence of the music while maintaining precision and clarity.
This delicate balance between detail and warmth ensures that listeners can indulge in extended listening sessions without succumbing to fatigue.
As a result, one can experience the immersive nature of music while appreciating its subtleties with unparalleled depth and richness.
The Revelation
At the heart of the Trohet R lies the Scan Speak 15W/8530 woofer and R2904 tweeter, both from the esteemed Revelator line.
These two drivers are some of the best ever produced, providing exceptionally low distortion and wide bandwidth. For good reasons, these drivers are found in some of the world's most expensive speakers.
But good drivers are only as good as the crossover design. For that, the Trohet R employs a state-of-the-art passive circuit. Scroll down to learn more.
Passive Filter
The Trohet R features a meticulously crafted passive crossover network that fine-tunes the speaker's acoustics to deliver an incredibly natural sound profile.
The crossover is a sophisticated assembly, comprising 8 capacitors, 7 inductors, and 8 resistors for each speaker. To further enhance performance, the woofer circuit incorporates two resonant dampening circuits that effectively address baffle step and cone break up nodes.
The tweeter circuit is equally noteworthy, utilizing a second-order filter. A sophisticated time correction network has been thoughtfully integrated to achieve precise time correction between the woofer and tweeter. This critical adjustment enables seamless acoustic summation with gentle slopes on a flat baffle, resulting in an accurate power response and a naturally balanced in-room sound for fatigue-free listening.
Challenge the Status Quo
The Trohet R speakers are the epitome of high-end audio excellence, but without the astronomical price tag.
While many high-end brands charge over $10,800 for speakers of this caliber, building the Trohet R allows you to challenge the status quo, offering uncompromising audio performance at a reasonable price point.
Deep Bass
Compact Cabinet
The Trohet R's rear-ported design strategically enhances bass performance, yielding well-defined low end within a compact cabinet.
Simultaneously, it mitigates port noise, ensuring distinct bass quality at elevated volume levels for an immersive listening experience.
Little Giants
Once you've welcomed into your hi-fi setup, you'll understand that the Trohet R is the only speaker you'll ever need, delivering a level of audio immersion that's truly unparalleled.
What sets it apart is the pinpoint imaging and remarkable clarity, leaving you to question the necessity of larger speakers. The Trohet R's sonic excellence speaks for itself.
Tweeter Faceplate Options
The Scan Speak R2904 tweeter is available in either black or silver anodized aluminum.
Choose Your Timber
The Trohet R can custom made from three timber options.
OAK
ALDER

Reference Frequency Response
The TROHET's have a frequency response of +-2 dB between 100-20KHz. The frequency range below 700 hertz is 1 dB above the median response level, which provides warmth and body for musical enjoyment.
The Inverse Response
This graph shows the response when the tweeter is measured 180° out of phase. The deeper the "null", the better the phase tracking. Phase is an often-overlooked part of speaker design, where many just focus on the frequency response. In my experience, a speaker is only great when both phase and frequency are optimised.
Impedance Response
The graph also shows the impedance response, which demonstrates a moderately easy speaker to drive, it may not be suitable for all tube amps, but any solid state will be able to drive these speakers. The key features of the impedance response are detailed below;
-
The ported cabinet tuning frequency is shown to be 39 Hz.
-
The nominal impedance is 8Ω between 1Hz - 20kHz.
-
Max impedance of 26.85Ω @ 71 Hz.
-
Min impedance of 5.05Ω @ 383 Hz.
-
Max electrical phase shift of 40° @ 774 Hz.
-
Min electrical phase shit of -52.31° @ 90 Hz.
