Reveal 8D Active - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Tannoy is revamping its popular range of Reveal studio monitors, improving the cabinets and adding new drive units. Will they become studio favourites? Huw Price reveals all.

Price: £699.00
Manufacturer: Tannoy
Website: http://www.tannoy.com

Tannoy has been making loudspeakers since 1933, and if you walked into any top UK studio from the 1960s through to the 1980s, you probably would have seen a set of Tannoy speakers in use. 15-inch drivers in huge Lockwood cabinets driven by valve amps and Tannoy Golds or Little Reds are still used by many studios and hi-fi enthusiasts, but for a while Tannoy seemed to be concentrating exclusively on the hi-fi market.

Score: 9
