I quickly. Digital and analog monitor with soft Activ Assist for configuration and frequency response.

Enrée SPDIF and AES not (it's a shame because it is not much to do for the manufacturer).
Volume knob a bit cheap that crachotte quickly (though very little intensive use ...)
Selector button as quickly crachotte.

Pretty box aspect of my night never dreamed more general concept finishing and acoustic enclosure fairly simple view commonplace for a brand like Tannoy.

SOUNDS

Frequency curve and well balanced but requires a bit of space behind the Tannoy (not against the wall so ;-)) if not at any scale spectrum

Dynamics and precision thanks to the wonderful Stereo Dual Concentric system. on the other hand shallow and accuracy of the dimensions of acoustic space. This may be defeated by the rigidity of the motor / hp.

Work of some acoustic instruments such as piano, violin difficult on tannoy.

on the other hand compared to my big Genelec 1037 it was not so bad especially the dynamics of low

This débrouillle even in difficult acoustic.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly it's beautiful enclosure monitoring and have an incredible price qualitée Hours of Operation.

on the other hand very fragile at the transistors slamming quickly use Pro (on more than 8 hours per day). So the tidal bol send Servicing and resolder I turned my two precision 8D passive and I sulk a bit since.

The concept is always good at Tannoy against by the electronics is really bad. Prennait rather passive and use a good amplifier and you have a great systhème. Go right ahead of the amp ...

Monitoring ended badly it's silly. The judgment is finally production logic.

I suggest you at least 2m spacing and listening position a little more inside the Triangle ITU.

NOTHING around within 1m
