Tannoy - Like Fridigaire, a name that is synonymous with the action, Just like 'Put the milk in the Fridgeaire...' used to mean put it in the refrigerator- to 'Tannoy' someone meant to page someone or address a large crowd in the UK. The term "tannoy" in colloquial British English is used generically to mean any public-address system, particularly those used for announcements in public places.

Tannoy is famous for its "Dual Concentric" speaker design which places the tweeter behind the center of the medium or bass driver.

May we also add- that the Tannoy Studio Monitor is used in recording studios around the world and that almost 80% of the music that you listen to has been mastered on Tannoy monitors.

So when we suggest Tannoy, we are recommending a professional grade product that will amaze and astonish you. My wife's response upon my putting a pair of the Reveal monitors in the living room was to listen to every CD in our collection.

A word about monitors: a monitor is supposed to have no coloration- it is supposed to accurately reproduce whatever sound is put into it. The closest quality sound that I have heard to this is a pair of Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 5 speakers that cost over 40 times as much.

So, home theater, home studio, home office, professional studio, or high design 'concept' locations, Tannoy will never embarass you, and will always delight with it's clean crisp sound.
