{"title":"TANNOY","description":"\u003cp\u003eTannoy is a British speaker manufacturer that has relied on the Dual Concentric principle since 1926: the tweeter sits at the centre of the mid\/bass driver, so the sound comes from a single point.

Under twenty square metres, a bookshelf speaker like the Platinum B6 is the smarter choice – a large floorstander overwhelms a small room, however good it is. From around twenty square metres upward, it gets interesting: the Legacy series for the warm sound of the 70s, the SGM studio monitors for precise control, and Prestige for anyone who wants the classic Tannoy sound and has the space for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStraight talk\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Prestige series is a world of its own: high efficiency, warm and effortless sound, happy with just a few watts – even from a tube amp. In return, it needs space and fits visually into a classic living room, not a minimalist one. Anyone after a modern, slim hi-fi look is better served by Platinum. We'd rather tell you that upfront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about Tannoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dual Concentric?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA driver in which the tweeter sits at the centre of the mid\/bass driver.

The result is very stable imaging – the stereo image doesn't collapse the moment you're not sitting exactly in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a tube amplifier suit Tannoy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften superbly, with the Prestige series.

Tweeter and woofer sit on one axis, the sound comes from a single point. You hear that immediately, and it's hard to forget once you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Arden Legacy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a 38 cm coaxial driver can do something three small woofers in a slim column can't: play effortlessly. 93 dB sensitivity means only a few good watts are needed – valve amps included. The large diaphragm moves air without straining, and it's exactly that composure that makes the difference at low volume in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehifitest.de summed up the Legacy trio in a way where it was specifically the Arden's 15-inch coax that made the reviewer reconsider his years-long scepticism about this driver design. That's a compliment you rarely see stated so openly in this industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA soundstage that doesn't stick between the speakers but stands in the room. Voices gain body, brass gains punch, and a double bass sounds like wood instead of just a tone. Via the control panel on the front, you adjust treble energy and roll-off – two knurled screws that let you adapt the speaker to your room, instead of the other way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Arden Legacy suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor large rooms, and for anyone who'd rather experience music than analyse it. Bottom line: if your listening distance is less than about 3.5 metres, you're not doing yourself any favours – the Arden builds its soundstage so large that sitting too close feels like an oversized pair of headphones. The Cheviot is the more honest choice there. And if you're after slim columns for a minimalist living room: honestly, you already know this isn't it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Arden isn't a speaker you buy because the datasheet wins the argument. You buy it because it has a way of playing that barely exists anywhere else anymore – big, relaxed, physical. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil check with you beforehand whether your room can carry it. If it can, this turns into a very long relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-way floorstanding speaker, bass reflex (distributed port, front-firing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 15-inch (380 mm) Dual Concentric, HPD design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: aluminium-magnesium dome in a Tulip waveguide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 35 Hz – 30 kHz (±6 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 93 dB (1 W \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling: 150 W continuous \/ 600 W peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended amplifier power: 20 – 300 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 2-band energy control (treble energy, roll-off) on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminals: 24-carat gold-plated bi-wiring terminals, fifth pole for grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet: high-density material with DMT bracing, walnut veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 602 × 910 × 362 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 41 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: bi-wire jumpers, floor spikes, Tannoy wood wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the Tannoy Arden Legacy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 93 dB sensitivity, the Arden is undemanding: just 20 to 30 clean watts are enough to make it sing, valve amps included. More important than raw power is tonal quality and control in the bass. Tell us what you have or are planning, and we'll assess the combination honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow large does the room need to be for the Arden Legacy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, from around 30 m² and at least 3.5 metres of listening distance. The Arden paints sound events on a very large scale – too close to the ear, that tips into unnatural territory. In smaller rooms we'd rather recommend the Cheviot or Eaton than sell you the bigger box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much distance from the wall does the Arden Legacy need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bass reflex ports sit at the front, so it's more forgiving near a wall than many floorstanders. Still, with 30 to 50 cm of distance you get noticeably more soundstage depth. We'll work out the sweet spot for your room together with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the controls on the front do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey adjust treble energy and roll-off in fine steps. In lively rooms you dial energy down, in heavily damped ones you add it back in. This isn't a tone control in the hi-fi sense, but room adaptation – and a surprisingly effective one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Tannoy Arden Legacy at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a speaker this size, without a room check, is a gamble.

With 86 dB efficiency, the B6 is uncritical and runs cleanly even on small integrated amplifiers or streaming amplifiers. More power doesn't hurt, but isn't essential – the quality of the amp stage matters more here than raw wattage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Platinum B6 fit in a small room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, that's what it's built for. In rooms up to about 25 square meters, it plays in a balanced way. Some distance from the back wall is important, since the bass reflex port fires rearward. About 10 to 20 centimeters is usually enough to keep the bass clean and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Platinum B6 need a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor music, usually not. The frequency response reaches down to about 50 Hz, which covers voices, guitar, jazz and pop well. For home cinema or electronic music with deep bass, a subwoofer makes sense – we're happy to help you find the right crossover point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Tannoy Platinum B6 need speaker stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot strictly, but it's worth it. On a sturdy stand, with the tweeter roughly at ear height, voices detach audibly better from the cabinet.

It doesn't replace the existing tweeter, but supplements it above 14, 16 or 18 kHz. The goal is cleaner phase behaviour at the top of the band, which is noticeable as more spaciousness and air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Tannoy speakers does the Prestige GR Super Tweeter suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's designed for the Prestige GR series and the Legacy models – so Stirling, Turnberry, Kensington, Canterbury, Westminster Royal, Arden, Cheviot and Eaton. The Autograph Mini is explicitly not compatible. For other models, we'll clarify suitability with you beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Super Tweeter connected?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's placed on top of the speaker and connected in parallel to its terminals – no separate amplifier channel is needed. You set the crossover frequency and level via plug-in jumpers. We'll take care of the setup at your home if you'd like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set crossover frequency and level on the Super Tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the table in the manual, not by feel. Tannoy lists there, for each suitable Prestige and Legacy model, the crossover frequency (14, 16 or 18 kHz) and the level step matching your speaker's efficiency. After that, you can fine-tune – one step too loud, and the treble gets edgy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Tannoy Prestige GR Super Tweeter from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this component is only as good as its tuning – the wrong crossover frequency or level makes it worse, not better.

Plain talk: if you mostly want to play modern rock, metal or electronic music loud, go for the Turnberry instead. The Stirling is a fine-detail artist, not a battering ram.
