Tannoy dimesion loudspeakers & naim??

I use a pair of classic Tannoy DC 10". Some claim the drive units are better than the current ones but I couldn't say.

I'm surprised Tannoy DC speakers don't get more mentions as they work very well with Naim electronics - the paper drivers + horn tweeters ensure a fast and dynamic sound. (They pass the PRAT test)

Only downside is the new range seem damn expensive - but then I got my old Tannoys for nowt. You sometimes see some of the pro range at bargain prices, DMT's / system 10/12/215's. A pair of D700's went for £750 on Ebay recently.

mmmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMM

listened to the £4000 Tannoy Dimension TD8's..... very nice then thought ...well the TD 10's are a 1000 more but could well be worth it in the long run ,and.......WOW.......nothin short of superb they are sex for your ears...mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm I like very much!!

...only prob now is payin for um!

I would welcome alternative speakers at this price band??

Cheers for now Matt

Does Tannoy ever phase-out a speaker design? They must have 50 or 60 different model speakers in what seem like ten or so speaker lines. It's slightly astonishing from a business model perspective that they can keep all of these lines going. Are they a big seller in the UK or elsewhere? One hardly hears of them in the US.

Nice speakers, very big sound, I like the supertweeter, but I think the load was difficult up in the high end. I heard them with the NAP500 and thought they were very good. The speaker is ported so the bass was not what I would ultimately have for myself (I have SBLs) but TD12s were enjoyable. The NBL on same equipment was better for my ear, but I'm a junior member

Hi Mr Price,

I'm wondering why you think that because the dimensions are rear ported it poses a problem for you. Is it to do with room bounderies?

Cheers Matt.

anyone here use them with their 5-wire speaker cable. how's it wired to your NAPs/kit ?
thanks
