Tannoy is one of the oldest speaker companies in the world. Founded in London in 1926, Tannoy originally made components for Public Address systems. The name "Tannoy" is derived from the materials they used to make their components: Tantalum and Lead Alloy.
Fast forward nearly one hundred years, and Tannoy still manufactures some of the most innovative, durable, and sought-after audio products in the world. Not to be left out of a growing entry-level market, Tannoy developed the Sensys line of speakers in the early 2000s to provide a solid platform for entry-level enthusiasts to experience the Tannoy sound.
The Sensys DC2 floorstanding speaker blends traditional acoustic engineering with modern performance. At its heart lies Tannoy’s signature Dual Concentric driver, which places a high-frequency tweeter directly inside the center of the mid-bass component. This unique layout creates a single point source for most music, ensuring that vocals and instruments reach your ears perfectly synchronized and beautifully detailed.
To further elevate the soundstage, the speaker features a top-mounted WideBand SuperTweeter that pushes frequency responses up to 51 kHz, well beyond the extent of human healing. Why? Because certain high frequency modulations can give a sense of openness and "air" that cannot be accomplished with a traditional tweeter alone.
Beyond its technical precision, the DC2 is built to anchor a premium home audio or theater setup with powerful authority. The well-braced cabinet houses an additional dedicated bass driver, providing a rich, punchy low-end response that balances the crisp clarity of the higher frequencies.
With decent sensitivity, the DC2 is easy to drive, even with modest tube power. Whether decoding a complex movie soundtrack or rendering a delicate acoustic vinyl, the Sensys DC2 remains a celebrated testament to Tannoy's legacy of acoustic realism and immersive engineering.
