Truth Audio... still in business? Looking for some TA-1Ps

Jeff White · Post by **Jeff White** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:14 pm

First of all, is the company is still around?

Is anyone using a pair of Truth Audio TA-1P or TA-1A monitors? I'm looking for something that is very accurate and non-fatiguing for longer stretches of mixing. Passive model is better, but I've heard good things about both models and would love to check them out. I'd love to hear some feedback on these, and if you are in the Philly area, I'd love to hear them.

I need a new set of mains to pair with my NS-10Ms. Read some great reviews and some feedback online and they may be just what the doctor ordered.

interesting monitors. I got all excited thinking they werent ported but turns out they have a rear port.
Still, not bad for $700.
Also, according to the website, the business is up for sale.

No, they're defunct. I emailed 6 months ago asking them about buying some monitors and got no response. I don't see where you're saying that the business is up for sale. The line: "Are you interested in acquiring a turn key studio monitor line?" just means that they're selling a turn key studio monitor line. Click that link and it'll take you to their marketing shpeel.

Wow, I'm sorry. Evidently I didn't read it well enough. Of course, that's probably been up for a year and a half, but still...

Unfortunately, from every indication, the business is not happening any longer. I have a set of TA-1Ps that I think are great. I was monitor shopping, got two set's of monitors in for a month in my room, and chose the Truths over the NHT M-00s. I did a side by side review for the magazine. I was going to buy a second used set a while back, and then something broke and the money went to that. I'd love to have a back up set.

From what I understand (please correct any misinformation here), they have been "for sale" on and off for a few years now, the original owner passed away several years ago. They moved the factory and then lost their distributer (Wave Distribution).

It's sad. I have a 5.1 setup based on the Truth TA1P's, and they are totally great sounding / performing monitors.

too bad, at $700 for a pair with dual woofers that was a real possibility.
that and I just like owning stuff nobody else around here has. The more obscure the better.

I emailed them a couple of years ago when I was in the market for new monitors and never got a response. Too bad, I really was hoping to hear them.

I take back what I said about JBL. I own a pair of Control 10's. they are meant for AV and instal use but work nicely as midfields.
I thought my left speakers woofer was blown and searched everywhere for a replacement. all I could find were recon kits, RECONE KITS for $300 that were not even JBL OEM.
Eventually it turned out that one of the leads from the Vc was just shorted so I fixed that. Too bad the present space is too small for these.
