Tannoy don’t make loudspeakers lacking bass and the DC8T is no exception. I make this point deliberately – more later!īass from the Dual Concentric drive unit is augmented by an 8in bass unit sitting below it, both units being reflex loaded by a rear port. This cone uses a treated paper pulp cone with rubber edge surround and it has the damped, dull ‘thwack’, when struck with the finger, of a well damped polymer cone there’s none of the ‘ring’ of a metal cone. The entire frequency range is handled by a modern Dual Concentric drive unit incorporating a horn loaded 25mm titanium dome tweeter firing out through the centre of the 8in bass/midrange cone. Tannoy’s trims are tasteful too and at the rear sits a bi-wire connecting panel with green earth terminal that earths all internal metalwork, something that technically makes sense as there are a lot of coils of wire inside, able to pick up Radio Frequency (RF) signals and earthing chassis work should help prevent this. The lacquered wood veneer used is lovely to look at and touch and helps make this Definition look classy. Tall and slim, the original wasn’t so stable, so Tannoy have now fitted a plinth to widen its footprint. The DC8T is man handle-able and you could substitute ‘woman’ for ‘man’ since it is no macho lift, weighing 21kgs (76lbs). By this I mean it uses their Dual-Concentric drive unit, but it isn’t part of their Prestige range, where size plays second fiddle to performance and Pickfords deliver. It is a one metre tall floorstander that incorporates the best Tannoy technology in a beautifully made and finished domestically acceptable loudspeaker. Here’s a quick resume of the Definition DC8T. You can read what he thought of them in our March 2012 issue magazine. I thought reviewer and classical violinist Rafael Todes might like its qualities too – but he had reservations.

This review is an update on the DC8T that, I feel, is one of the market’s more interesting loudspeakers. Following my comments and those of their Japanese distributor, Tannoy decided to tweak the DC8T late 2011 to rid it of an obvious deficiency, a small midrange suck-out identified in our measurements that made it sound soft it was too laid back even for my tastes. All the same, I had some reservations about the upmarket £4000 DC8T I reviewed in our July 2009 issue, ones that weren’t apparent in the larger but otherwise similar DC10T reviewed later in our November 2010 issue. Tannoy loudspeakers are great fun and impressively accurate, by design – and I like this. Noel Keywood loved it Rafael Todes wasn't so sure.
