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.
