At the start of the 2010 season, Tannoy, the famous studio monitor manufacturer, updated the Reveal series — its entry level product range. We had the opportunity to review the Reveal 601a, a powered loudspeaker monitor with a 6.5" driver...
A Mini-Review: A Brief Snap Shot
Tannoy makes a strong come back by updating its down-market monitor speakers. The value for money (about $500 per pair) is very good. The speakers produce a well balanced sound with a good presence in the low end that doesn’t disturb the rest of the frequency spectrum. On the other hand, the high-frequency response didn’t fully convince us, and it can prove unsuitable in some situations. Otherwise, the Reveal 601a seems to be a rugged monitor with serious manufacturing quality. Add a nice look and a high headroom and you get a very commendable and especially affordable pair of active monitor speakers.
