I’m horribly biased but these speakers SOUND GREAT. These would satisfy me sonically for the rest of my life.
We love our Tex Tone speakers. They look beautiful in our new home.
Graham Cockroft & Luana D’Appollonio
We wanted something that looked great as well as having amazing sound quality. Tex Tones are things of beauty. And the sound quality is sublime.
Andrea Thompson
Saturday night playing it loud. Bliss! These speakers are the gift that keeps on giving…..
Have yet to find something from my music collection that doesn’t sound at least ten times better than my old speakers. They are both sonically and aesthetically beautiful.

These front-ported speakers have a 6.5” woofer with a low resonant frequency (Fs) of 29Hz, resulting in a very impressive bass response.

The Tex Tones have taken our sound system to a whole new level. We had good speakers before but these have transformed the experience of putting music on. They are just brilliant.
Jenny Keate
I can’t believe how good my Tex Tone speakers sound. Warm and accurate. And they look great!
Malcolm Black – NZ Music Legend (1961 – 2019)
Right from the outset it was obvious these speakers were something special – every track brought surprises. It’s a shock to hear detail that just isn’t present in other systems. Beautifully finished and eye-catching, they definitely have to be heard to be believed.
Matthew Trbuhovic
Tex Tones are amazing, they create incredible separation and depth of sound. One of the first things I heard was some Bowie and it sounded like he was standing in front of me in the room with the band behind him. Stunning. I’ve been rediscovering my whole music collection.
Nick Sampson
On hearing the speakers for the first time, the impact was immediate and astounding. I had never experienced music reproduced with such clarity and definition before.

Bespoke Stands
A purpose-built stand for the Classic and Art speakers allows them to be positioned perfectly in your listening space.
Tex Tone stands are made of powder coated aluminium and are designed to complement your new speakers.
The stands’ front ‘legs’ can be filled with sand or any other filler material of your choice.
The hollow rear pipe can be used for cable management and each stand has 4 M8 threaded holes for speaker spikes. Using speaker spikes, especially on carpeted floors, greatly increases stability and can result in better imaging and tighter bass. Each set of speaker stands comes with 8 stainless steel spikes.
What makes Tex Tone speakers so good?
The aesthetic design and remarkable sound are the result of years of R&D.
BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
The first thing that strikes you about Tex Tones is the unique shape and stacked plywood design. The boxes feature layers of 18mm Baltic Birch plywood, CNC routed into one-piece shapes. The wood is cut locally and the different layers are then hand assembled by Tex. The Classic design has the layers stacked on top of each other giving height to the box, while the Console has the layers stacked side by side providing depth. Their shape and smooth finish make them way more tactile than your standard box speaker. People want to touch them – even hug them!
UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION
Having no corner joints and being curved makes for a very strong structure with reduced resonance. Inside, the boxes are damped and braced, while outside the finish is sleek and streamlined. The curved shape also dissipates sound waves randomly, reducing standing waves and flutter echoes inherent in most parallel wall designs.
COMBINATION OF COMPONENTS
The drivers in each design are specially chosen to complement each other. All speaker drivers are state of the art and the crossovers feature high quality air-core inductors and polyproplyene capacitors imported from Europe.
AN EXCITING NEW LISTENING EXPERIENCE
The resulting sound is vibrant, immersive and dynamic. People hearing Tex Tones for the first time are always amazed when music they know well is brought to life through an exciting new listening experience.
