Highlights

Heimkino-Lautsprecher Theater 500 Mk3 von Teufel

Why we love this product

For the second time, Teufel revamped its classic stereo tower speaker, the T 500. Changes include a subtle redesign and even better sound.

Key advantages at a glance

  • Pair of Hi-Fi stereo floor-standing speakers for a true-to-source listening experience with full bass
  • 2 x 6.5-cm woofer with Kevlar membranes, 1 x 6.5 inch midrange drivers with Kevlar wok membrane, 1 x 1 inch neodymium tweeter
  • New cabinet damping design: Integrated absorption chamber counters standing waves inside the enclosure without effecting the bass reflex port
  • The even baffle and recessed tweeter minimize differences in propagation times
  • Downfiring bass reflex port located between the cabinet and base plate
  • Fabric grilles can be easily removed thanks to magnetic mounts
  • Downfiring bass reflex system enables placement near walls

Features

All technologies at a glance

DEVELOPED IN BERLIN

The Theater 500 was designed for highly transparent playback, making it the perfect companion for movie sound, gaming and music. Unlike systems engineered to quickly impress and just as quickly fatigue the ears, the Theater 500 produces no unnaturally elevated bass, no sharp and shrill treble. The following features elevate the Theater 500 above standard stereo speakers:

Time Alignment
A system for correcting time alignment enables a better, more precise positioning of vocals and instruments within the stereo panorama.

Constant Directivity Concept
A newly designed waveguide and phase plug ensure broad and even sound dispersion.

Damping chamber
A sound-damping chamber specially designed according to the Helmholtz Resonance principle ensures a clean sound. This effectively eliminates the formation of standing waves and unwanted resonances within the enclosure.

Downfiring bass reflex system
A bass reflex system prevents unwanted chuffing noise. Cleverly positioned on the bottom of the speaker enclosures, it makes it possible to position the speakers anywhere in the room without altering their sound.

3-way system

The Theater 500 uses an authentic 3-way driver system. The amply equipped system employs a total of 2 bass woofers with lightweight but rigid Kevlar membranes to produce deep, resonant bass without an additional subwoofer. The midrange drivers and tweeters delineate voices and instruments with incredible precision, resulting in an almost tangible soundscape.

Advanced Klippel measurements are used to make an already excellent system even better. This technology uses lasers to detect tiny imperfections along the driver membranes, allowing them to be corrected for an improved frequency response.

Teufel Time Alignment Technology

The Theater 500’s recessed tweeter corrects differences in propagation time for a well-structured sound. Vocals, instruments and sound effects are rendered clearly and with great naturalness. Just like a live event, you’ll be able to distinguish the relative positions of the instruments and vocalists to each other.

Constant Directivity Concept

A newly designed wave guide and phase plug gives the system a broad and even sound dispersion. This makes it possible for everyone in the room to enjoy the same well-blended sound with excellent speech intelligibility and localisation.

Innovative damping chamber

Inside the Theater 500, a specially designed damping chamber employs the concept of Helmholtz Resonance to minimize standing waves within the enclosure. This does away with the need to damp the bass reflex vent, allowing the low end to go deeper and work more efficiently. The result is an especially balance soundstage across all volume levels.

Downward-facing bass reflex system

The Theater 500 uses a downward-facing bass reflex system for anywhere room placement. A special oversized vent prevents the creation of wind noise at high volume levels.

Good trade-off
We have exchanged the Theater 500 for our over 35 years old Sony speakers. Result: a totally new sound experience. Highs and lows are very clearly audible. We are thrilled and give a clear recommendation to buy. However, we will continue to use the existing subwoofer.

Great sound
Finally enjoying my old records from the 80s again with great sound and lots of bass. I had been looking forward to this for a long time. Keep on rockin'

Controlled & Transparent
The THEATER® 500, I have since a month in use, started with an Onkyo amplifier of 40 watts to 8 ohms, because of the relatively low power the middle sounded messy and uncontrolled. After a week I bought another amplifier, a Yamaha R-N803D, really a very fine amplifier with more than the power you need to drive the Teufels, the difference was there, a nice and tight center came out, the voices crystal clear and a present and controlled low. In short, a nice transparent whole. The speakers require an amplifier with ample power, otherwise they sound messy. Highly recommended that if connected to the right amp, will not disappoint you. The only downside is that the loudspeaker is delivered without spikes, which you can order separately for this type of loudspeaker at Teufel.

Nice sound from a nice package
Very pleased with this purchase. The speakers sound very good with clear high/middle and low and they also look nice and solid.

After I got myself an ITT Hifi 8033 tuner/amplifier from 1977, like the one in our living room with 2x 90 watts, I had to get some great speakers. I found it here at Teufel. The Theater 500 are the hammer. Extremely powerful, really warm sound in the 26m² living room. It doesn't get better than that. The 20Kg columns are well manufactured and look modern. Unfortunately they are only available in black. I can only recommend these things, provided the amplifier power fits :-)
