Tannoy Definition DC8T

Defining the art of sound, Definition marries cutting edge technical innovation with 80 years of Tannoy loudspeaker heritage. The result is a true audiophile loudspeaker for the music enthusiast who will accept no compromises. From the dynamic DC8 bookshelf model for smaller rooms to the imposing DC8T and DC10T floor-standing models, the range is crafted from the finest materials and hand finished to exemplary standards. Definition is rich, articulate and expressive in sound yet equally elegant and cotemporary in style.

DC8T

Capable of resolving the finest musical detail or generating the power and dynamics of a full scale orchestra, the Definition DC8T is a commanding floor standing loudspeaker for the discerning listener. The latest 8 inch Dual Concentric™ drive unit with WideBand™ tweeter is augmented with a precision matched 8 inch bass driver in a thoroughly contemporary luxury finished cabinet. The exceptional rigidity of the port tuned plywood enclosure and extensive use of Tannoy DMT™ material achieves bass down to almost 30Hz with outstanding low frequency dynamics. The Deep Cryogenically Treated straight path crossover, silver plated copper conductors and Tannoy’s unique fifth speaker terminal for driver grounding ensures the DC8T’s class leading fidelity and articulation.

"If you like your music to jump out of the speaker, the Tannoys do a great job, making rivals sound wimpish!"
