Tannoy Revolution XT 8F (each)

Must be purchased in pairs.

The XT line remains one of our favorites from Tannoy. They have a lithe sound with a lot of presence that greatly belies the price point. These speakers sold themselves at every demo, and we demoed them a lot.

The XT 8F has a Omnimagnet Dual driver setup that further refines bass performance with its linear LF response and exceptional timbre accuracy. The HF section with Torus-Ogive waveguide delivers smooth extension with outstanding imaging.

The REVOLUTION XT 8F crossover uses low loss laminated core inductors and audiophile components throughout and further benefits from high purity oxygen free copper (OFC), silver plated wiring. The 49.4 litre REVOLUTION XT 8F cabinet houses Tannoy's dual-cavity coupled reflex system, featuring separate cavities coupled internally by tuned ports. Bass energy exits from a tuned down-firing port between the angled base of the cabinet and the integrated plinth.
