T A Caruso All-In-One Music System

Description Caruso In Autumn 2008, T A introduced their first Caruso to the market, and within a very short time it acquired cult status due to its unique design philosophy and high-quality construction. Its direct successor (Caruso Blu) continued this heritage in a modernised form, but this new 2020 Caruso undoubtedly represents the greatest step forward in the development history of this equipment: in terms of external appearance and technology it has been re-designed from the ground up, whilst remaining faithful to its roots. The name Caruso is now a byword for compact all-in-one systems, as the system offers impressive features and sound quality despite its compact size. Since its introduction by T A back in 2008, Caruso has become synonymous with devices which are modern, without paying lip-service to every trend, and which quite simply celebrate musical enjoyment. The new Caruso is of all-aluminium construction; a material whose strength and durability make it ideal even for space travel applications. This design principle guarantees that this device will be your companion for many years, rather than just a short-term fashion accessory. T A has more than forty years of experience in the audio field, and they have exploited this to create a device with a small footprint which still provides outstandingly good sound. This simply means that audiophile sound is no longer the preserve of large systems in large rooms.
