Forget everything you ever knew about mini-systems and table radios as Caruso now has its premiere.

T+A is introducing a completely new compact Hi-Fi system which incorporates the latest and most innovative technologies.

The Caruso is a unique system capable of absolutely everything.

It features high-quality loudspeaker systems, 3 x 50 watts power amplifiers, a CD/DVD player and VHF tuner, and even includes the processor board used in the T+A E-series, which provides a connection to networks and the Internet by acting as a Streaming Client. The Caruso can access anything which supplies music: CD, DVD, Internet radio, network music server, USB media storage units, MP3 players, iPod (including control system) and - of course - VHF radio.

At the same time it is easy and intuitive to operate, automatically detects the source devices connected to it, and delivers a sound experience which is quite incredible for its size. Its micro-processor provides a means of fine-tuning the sound characteristics, so that the system produces great quality music on a sideboard or writing desk as well as on a bookshelf. And if that's not enough for you, you can expand the Caruso by adding the new fully active CM Active loudspeakers to form a full-size Hi-Fi system! And of course our TALIS Active speakers and the Caruso complement one another perfectly.

Like all T+A products the case of the Caruso is beautifully made from aluminium and steel, and is equipped with the best components available - a truly stunning work of art!
