Why The Tannoy Dual Concentric
Connoisseurs will quibble, but
the trend in the way speakers work has mostly been in one
direction. The general drift in twentieth century loudspeaker design
-- for music playback, anyway -- has been from the early
large-and-cumbersome full-frequency single driver format, moving toward
the small and multidriver-array system approach. The drawback to the
multidriver system approach is the delicate & complex sound form the
designer must generate with different drivers, crossover networks and
complicated enclosures, integrating them to comprise a convincing sound
picture. The challenge for the fullrange approach, of course, is to
maintain convincing performance in the 'presence' region while extending
toward valid resolution in the frequency extremes.
