Introduction
The anticipation is over and I sincerely appreciate

your patience. You and I share a passion for high
fidelity; we love music and we strive to perfect its
reproduction: they call us “Audiophiles.” I just couldn’t
let this fascination of mine make its way to the sales
floor without sweating the details from every angle
possible. This “labor of love” took me a few years, and
it was worth the wait.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you the Telesto
Towers, part of the Titan Series. Many sleepless
nights have brought the perfect sound reproduction
machine to a reality.

Earthquake Sound Corporation was founded in 1984 by Joseph J. Sahyoun, a
brilliant engineer and a well-respected researcher/developer of audio technologies.
Mr. Sahyoun's infatuation with audio, his relentless pursuit of perfection, and his
love for music drove him to excel Earthquake Sound as a leader in this industry.
Hence the hi-fi speakers: TITAN towers a.k.a. Telesto.

Over the years, many of you have provided us with design
requirements, new product development ideas and
tremendous feedback that helped us to improved our
products. We are very grateful for your support and
feedback.

From all of us here at Earthquake Sound Corporation:
Thank you.

Joseph J. Sahyoun

President & Chief Engineer
