Discover What the Experts Are Saying About Treble Clef Audio

SoundStage! HIFI | Perfect Timing: A Bruce Cockburn Evening and a Digital Upgrade for Treble Clef’s TCA-M Active Loudspeaker

"The TCA‑M is a neutral transducer that can reveal all the details of a recording. From the bass up through the highs, no part of the audioband is emphasized or de-emphasized"

— Doug Schneider | SoundStage! HIFI

SoundStage! HIFI | The Original Treble Clef Audio TCA-M Loudspeaker—Over $100,000 for Visually Polarizing Precision

"The TCA‑Ms went deeper than any speakers I’ve had in that room, including the Arendal 1528 Tower 8s, a pair of very large passive floorstanders, each with four 8″ woofers, which were set up in pretty much the same locations. As a result, Treble Clef Audio’s claim that the TCA‑M can produce bass right to the bottom of the audioband (20Hz) in a room is credible. This is also proof that active speakers can bend the rules in ways passive speakers simply can’t, particularly in the bass."

Stereophile | Joy and Resistance

"Though sitting off-axis to one side of the SRO event space, the sound was punchy, dynamic, and forthright. The TCA-Ms easily switched between the music’s varied sonic menu, remaining true and resolute throughout."

— Ken Micallef | Stereophile report

Terri Lyne Carrington & Brandee Younger | Joy and Resistance

"Huge thanks to the Doris Duke Foundation for making space for this moment, and to @trebleclefaudio for that incredible sound — it truly felt like we were inside the records!"

— Brandee Younger | Harpista Instagram

Stjernholm Reviews | The Dream Speaker

"It breathes life into recordings, creates an immersive organic soundstage and makes instruments sound like they're physically present in the room."

"The TCA-Ms’ clarity and neutrality in the high range didn’t disappoint either. The cymbal strikes in Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams,” from their 1977 album Rumours, can sound overly splashy with some speakers. With the TCA-Ms, what splashiness did come through sounded completely authentic—it was in the recording. Stevie Nicks’s voice, which is slightly buried in the mix, was completely exposed, sounding as clear as I’ve ever heard it. On The Tragically Hip’s “Long Time Running,” from the 2021 remaster of Road Apples, everything, from the vocals to the guitars to the drums, was reproduced with incisive clarity."

"Regardless of the music we played, the TCA-Ms sounded extremely good—stunning, at times—projecting open, clear sound consistently and effortlessly."

"On St. Vincent’s “Los Ageless,” from her 2017 album MassEducation, the clarity of the piano, particularly in the lower register, was truly exceptional. There was an immediacy to it that was uncanny."

"What I was most impressed with was the depth, power, and character of the bass. It was unlike anything I’d heard before."
