Sammers Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 This is slightly delayed as I received them about 3/4 weeks ago, i've just been so side tracked recently I haven't gotten round to sharing them! Here are my 2 new S112's from TKS Engineering (based in Sweden); First impressions are that they are very well built and at 10kg each they're a pleasure to lug around. Have taken them rehearsal and i'm really impressed with them - really nice punchy mids, with a tight low end. I opted to have them tweeter-less so the high end isn't as pronounced but you can still get some nice 'twang' out of them with some eq'ing. Pretty loud for 2 x 12" speakers too! Having never ordered a set of cabs before, Tommy (owner) was a real gent to deal with! After a build time of 2 weeks, I received an email that they were complete but he also told me that he'd had an accident and that he'd be out of the workshop for a few days. But instead of waiting till he'd healed up to send em - he packed them up and his workshop neighbours took them in and handed them over to UPS the following day. He even thrown in a free speakon cable as they were a day or so late dispatching. Pairing them with the TH500 I brought off of here, I think it looks the dogs! Overall i'm dead happy!

M@23 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd spend more time looking at that than I would playing it!! Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They're absolutely stunning! The new designs are beautiful. The S112s are incredible even without taking the price into account. Nice to have another TKS owner on here. I didn't get tweeters in mine, either - don't need 'em. If anyone wants to know more about these, I urge you to head over to [url="http://www.tks.se"]www.tks.se[/url]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 These cabs really are remarkable. Even though they're ceramic they weigh nothing. And because they're ceramic, they're very reasonably priced, and they have that ceramic tonal thing going on.* [size=3]*IMO this is something hard to describe, but it exists. Feel free to disagree.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebassman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 So, the cabs in the picture, are they the standard option? I can see there are lots of different vinyl/ grill cloth options available. They do look very nice!! What's the total shipped cost for these? cheers thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey/black cloth is an extra (this includes the surround with the embedded logo which isn't standard) and I also chose the option to have them vertically stacked. All the standard finishes are on the home page of the tks website Cheers though guys, they are definitely lookers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtcat Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Very very nice. I'd love to hear these. I love it when manufacturers really take the effort to make their product look this nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tks.se Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Sorry for spotting this a bit late, but glad you like them, nice pictures!

These were around £700 in total, including shipping and the optional extras (grille cloth, vertical configuration). The cheaper standard option is a metal grille.
