They are capable of playing many different types of music at relatively high levels without causing distress to listener’s ears.Īnother important part of speakers’ presentation is depth of soundstage. They are not the most transparent speakers in the world, however, they are quite easy to listen. What I am trying to say here is that if you normally listen to the music on low quality speakers, you will be very impressed with DC2000 but if you have a relatively good quality set up, you may not appreciate them as much.
Saying that, when I test speakers I apply the same ‘ultimate’ test scale regardless of the price. Tannoy LGM) and the Tannoy DC2000 simply did not sound nowhere near as good as the other speakers. They are of course different degrees of sounding close to alive, and perhaps at the time of testing I was used to my other speakers (i.e. Vocals and instruments sound nice but do not sound ‘alive’. Midrange and treble are well balanced – not shouty but not dull either. Tracks like Water of Love by Dire Straits sound dynamic and do not lack anything. The bass is quite quick, as you would expect from a closed box.

They seemed neutral.īass is low enough to enjoy most music but if you ever experienced well recorded music with low bass on a full range system, you know that something is missing. After first few tracks I was neither disappointed, nor excited. I did not have any expectations when I first plugged these Tannoy DC2000 speakers in. The crossovers are hardwired and feature fairly basic components, glued to the back of the speaker terminals – popular cost saving approach, frequently utilised amongst modern speakers. The tweeter diaphragms are made from aluminium and are driven by a separate magnet, positioned behind the bass diaphragm magnet (see photos below).

Both driver cones are made from polyolefin suspended on rubber surrounds. We often see this in budget speakers, so seeing it in Tannoy DC2000 was a little disappointing, especially that from what I found on the Internet, they were not exactly cheap when they were new.

There a two drivers in each speaker, one Dual Concentric driver and one bass driver and both feature baskets made from pressed metal. They are finished in black vinyl laminate that tries to imitate wood – I’m not a big fan. The enclosures are made of chipboard and are fairly rigid. My first impression was quite positive – the speakers are quite heavy and the drivers look neat. According to Tannoy, the crossovers are designed to time align both high and low frequency drivers, to eliminate “unnatural time delays” and create a true point source.ĭC2025 DMT 200mm (8″) Dual Concentric with 25mm (1″) Aluminium Dome and 200mm (8″) Polyolefin Diaphragm The benefits of having the high frequency driver sharing the same chassis as the bass driver are that the whole drive unit operates across the audio bandwidth as a single point of source, which in theory, should produce perfect stereo image. Drivers feature famous ‘Dual Concentric’ construction which means that two diaphragms (HF and LF) are combined in one driver and are working on the same axis – if you are not familiar with this construction, read the Monitor Gold 15″ review, which explains it in more detail. Here is how Tannoy describes these: “ Designed to deliver high sensitivity and bass extension, the DC2000 is a compact, floor-standing speaker“.

These Tannoy DC2000 speakers were in the higher end of the ‘Series 90’ – the range developed by Tannoy which featured technologies from professional studio monitors, adapted for domestic market. Consequently, it is possible that the Tannoy DC2000 that you want purchase will sound different than the pair I reviewed. 30 and often 50 years it’s a long time, and one can never be sure how this time affected driver suspension compliance, ferrofluid cooling is some tweeters, etc. Also, bear in mind that purchasing vintage speakers is always a gamble. On this occasion, caps were within the specs, so there was no need to replace them. Please note – usually before reviewing vintage speakers, I recap the crossovers to ensure that capacitors are within manufacturer’s specification. Having experienced the high end Tannoy drivers and speakers, I was interested to see if more modestly priced constructions are capable of creating similar character of sound.īelieve it or not, but I actually found these Tannoy DC2000 speakers on a car boot sale! They did not look very clean when I bought them, but with a bit of work they turned out just fine. Since falling in love with an idea of coaxial drivers, I’ve been on a lookout for different constructions from well known brands.
