Kudos T505 stand mount loudspeakers
Isobaric with fixed boundary loading
TITAN 505
Small on size, big on immersion. If it’s the everyday elation you’re after, the 505 offers all of the key Titan design features in a compact, stand-mount loudspeaker.
EXCEPTIONAL, CUSTOM-MADE DRIVERS
The Titan series features drive units crafted exclusively for Kudos by world-leading specialists SEAS. All four Titans share the same superb K3 tweeter, a version of a legendary SEAS unit specially re-engineered to tailor its capabilities for the Titans. The 505’s use a custom 180mm mid-bass unit with a die-cast chassis with large open areas, a coated paper cone and a 39mm voice coil designed for low distortion, high linearity and low crossover modulation.
All drivers are precisely matched and aligned to work together seamlessly, delivering an effortless ‘just right’ sound. When you hear it, you’ll know it.
LOW-ORDER CROSSOVERS AND MINIMAL DESIGN FOR PURER SOUND
The purer the signal, the truer the sound. A Kudos loudspeaker preserves a clean and clear audio signal by favouring a minimal design with our trademark, low-order crossover. The Titan series’ superior quality components are tailored specifically for Kudos to stringent tolerances. They include Mundorf’s MResist Supreme resistors and air-core inductors, and ClarityCap’s unique CopperConnect technology capacitors.
ISOBARIC WITH FIXED BOUNDARY LOADING
Bass is key to how we hear music, so our Titan series goes above and beyond in ensuring superior sound at the all-important lower end. The Titan 505’s isobaric and bass reflex loading is cleverly engineered to deliver a more agile, nuanced, textured and detailed bass reproduction.
ACTIVE CONFIGURATION (UPGRADEABLE)
The Titan series is configured to allow simple by-passing of the internal crossover for active operation with leading electronics including Linn Exakt, Devialet Expert and Naim SNAXO. Active operation opens up a wider upgrade path and enables a variety of performance and personalisation enhancing capabilities.

CHRIS KELLY GETS TO GRIPS WITH THE STAND MOUNTING 505, THE SMALLEST
MODEL IN THE TITAN RANGE FROM BRITISH COMPANY KUDOS -
“The treble is refined and extended too, without exaggeration or strong emphasis.”
-
“The Titan 505 is not just another hefty standmount, its combined technologies give it an edge even at this price, and I would encourage anyone who enjoys music to have a listen.”
-
“The 505 more than earns the right to bear the Titan moniker. Kudos has extracted a truly room-filling sound from a relatively small cabinet, and this standmount is an absolute delight with whatever material you care to feed it. Personally – speaking as a fan of big, brawny loudspeaker designs
– my time with more compact cabinets can often end with a feeling of compromise, but this certainly isn’t the case with the Titan 505, which is brilliant, full stop.” -
Everything about Kudos exudes a finish and feels befitting of the price tag. The finish is exquisite, the external angles seem to fold the loudspeakers into the rear wall, and they disappear altogether by the time the music plays.
