The Tannoy Dual Concentric is still considered to be one of the most sophisticated and well-engineered driver designs ever made. Given its high efficiency (greater than 94dB) and wonderful sound qualities, it's no wonder that a determined music enthusiasts endeavour to obtain some of their finer loudspeakers.
My first exposure to Tannoy was in 1976, at the home of
friend Storm Thorgerson who had the 15" Gold
Monitors in Tannoy's Rectangular York eclosures. I was
mightily impressed with the coherence, dynamics, tonality
and overall majesty of the sound. In the years hence, I
have heard the following Tannoy speakers: Corner York,
Canterbury, Corner Chatsworth, Rectangular Chatsworth,
Lancaster, Corner Lancaster, Arden, IIILZ and the awesome
GRF!! It is my personal observation that the musical bass
quality is something of a Tannoy house sound while at
the same time exhibiting a great openness in the midrange
and treble.

Tannoy
Cornetta
Made to order, £2500 empty, perfectly made, finished, real
wood veneered cabinet which employs the 10" Monitor Red in
a rear horn-loaded design.
The Cornettas thrive on large-scale symphonic works with
aplomb. The speakers' imaging like many hornspeakers --
especially vintage horns -- is not really what they are
about. It's the feel, the soul and musicality that makes
you tingle!! They place the vocalists and instruments on
the stage in their proper locations, depth is superb,
they give you the impression that you could walk around
behind the speakers and touch the instruments, for their
size they image very well and convey an ease of the music,
combined with a wealth of detail, made for captivating
listening. They are entirely non-fatiguing listening on
both CD and of course, vinyl.
