So, you have a hefty sum you want to spend on audiophile floorstanders but cannot decide exactly what to buy. The Tannoy Dimension TD12 is one of the really serious loudspeakers you can rest your eyes and ears on and be sure it will never disappoint you.
It is the largest speaker in the Dimension series at Tannoy and its sound seems even bigger. The Tannoy Dimension TD12 has a multi-faceted, trapezoidal cabinet to prevent the accumulation of standing waves and, at the same time, prevent resonance and unwanted vibrations to develop into phenomena that could impede the drivers' performance. The heavy internal bracing and damping minimize coloration down to undetectable levels, allowing the listener to enjoy a truly natural sound; the large and bulky twin port-reflex cabinet resides on four massive metal spiked feet for incredible stability.
The driver complement consists of two Tannoy proprietary transducers which have been engineered to offer you a pristine high-end acoustic experience you'll instantly adore. The huge 12” Dual Concentric technology driver runs with a paper pulp cone with a twin roll impregnated fabric surround providing longer and more precise excursion for a fast and punchy bass.
This LF unit reaches a bottom end at a rumbling 30Hz, a perfect sound without separate subwoofer for great listening. In the middle of this driver resides the HF-component of the DC-driver: a tweeter using a 50-micron, 1.25” diameter aluminum dome loaded in a Tannoy Tulip Waveguide.
In a separate enclosure made from machined alloy and placed atop of the cabinet you'll find the super-tweeter, a unit boasting a 25-micron, 1” titanium dome, resonating as high as 54kHz for an imaging that defies everything you thought you know about sonic representation. Perfect for common media and hi-def tracks like SACD or DVD-Audio, the Tannoy Dimension TD12 blasts 180W RMS and sports a serious 92dB sensitivity in 6 Ohms impedance. Price tags go under $3,000. |
