Back with ya danny. The fact you got a few decades of experience is enough for people to trust that your upgrades will sound great and be of good quality.
This Tannoy looks like a MkI version of their DMT monitor from the 80's-90's. In the first versions with 8,10,12 inch drivers, the woofers had a matte texture. For the DMT-II versions in the 90's, they changed to a lighter plastic cone material that was glossy, and these sound better than the first versions. For over 20 years, I've owned a pair of System 15's which have a 15" paper cone. I'd love for them to get the GR treatment, but they are big and heavy. (but only half as big as the monsters behind him!) IF you are ever considering buying a used pair of Tannoy System ## monitors, beware that many listers list them as DMT2's, when half the time it's actually an earlier DMT model. I see this often on Ebay. The seller either doesn't know any better, or is trying to get more $$ for them. Make sure you know what it is you're really buying. They are actually really fun speakers....
@@henrym78 I've never heard them side by side, but the DMT-II's have a slightly higher sensitivity, and with a lighter cone material, I can only assume they will sound more dynamic. The tweeters are the same, as they use the same replacement diaphragm.
I have a pair of DMT10's since they were new. They used to be in a studio but these days they are in my home with the technics 1210. Best speakers I have ever owned. Next year I give them to my nephew as I retire abroad.
Tannoy made/makes some of the best nearfield monitors. I have a pair of Ellipse 8's that I've slightly modified to use an outboard 3-way crossover and I tri-amp each speaker. They were great before but, a touch midrange heavy. Now they are perfect and much "clearer".
Materials that were top of the line 30 years ago, through natural aging processes of temperature and humidity swings, heavy usage and periods of little or no use can change the physical and electrical characteristics of wiring and components. That’s why using newer contemporary quality parts and upgrading wiring will make very audible improvements in the quality of the output. Great Stuff here. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loving your shirt Danny! But seriously, Tannoy engineered great drivers, but always put a choker chain on them with their crossovers and some of their old cabinets. My set of drivers are now direct on individual amps and digital crossovers
Thanks Danny , I got my The NoRez in the mail last week been covering the KEF-Q100s internal cabneits smartly !

Cool! I wonder if the dual concentric speaker is the same in my Tannoy Saturn 10? It's the 10" coax + a 10" woofer in the S10. Still a 2-way speaker. Tried to bi-amp it once but it was just tweeter and 2 woofers.. Maybe the same crossover layout would work? The best maybe would be to make a real 3-way crossover..
Hi Danny I wondered if the bad build quality is the same with monitors like the Yamaha hs5 or krk rokit 5 for example? Or is it any better because it’s for studio use? Great channel 👍
Hello hey Sweden watching. Must say that I love your videos. I have a pair of German Quadral speakers, Quadral Chromium Style 100, to be exact. Nice ribbon tweeter on these. Loved to see if you could fix up some of these some time. Thanks and have a nice day.
Would you consider doing something like Kenrick (Japanese co.) modding JBL speakers or even Tannoy for higher end market? Look them up on RUclips. Their molded JBL speakers sound great and retain value very well.
I would love to send you a pair of vintage TESLA speakers, made in Czechoslovakia :) They sell super cheap, have tremendous value for how capable they are, and some big issues that DIY fans trying to address for decades.
had a flashback with your shirt danny. i am always appalled at how poorly designed high end speakers are produced by companies with good credentials. glad i got elacs, i know they did the work upfront..
May I ask you to dissect a Atlantic technology speaker? I think there’s a lot of snake oil in this trade and you are very good at debunking which brands actually put in the effort and proper components and which brands don’t! Just an idea for you! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Danny..... These tweeters have ferrofluid in them, but after 20+ years, it will be dry and gummy. The tweeters need to be opened up, cleaned, and have the ferrofluid re-applied into the gap. I've done this a couple times myself on System 12's and 15's. Obviously the ferrofluid changes the tweeter characteristics, and should be addressed before redesigning the crossover. Have you considered this??
I'd like to do that with my DMT's, would love to get a reference on how to do that. I've thought about sending mine in for Danny to take a look at them but it's a long way from SoCal to Texas!
hi Danny, thanks for the episode. please confirm: "from the factory" measurements are your initial measurements or the specification? also, were the ports plugged or open during your measurements? Tannoy produced at least 2 different versions & *reduced* the size of the ports for at least some of the series (I own System 8Mk2 with smaller ports, unplugged). I suppose this reduced woofer overhang when ports were unplugged. I'm of the understanding that all older tweeters with ferro-fluid cooling have reduced HF performance as they age & the fluid should be carefully removed & replaced to return them to to their original spec. I believe the Tannoy tweeter in your test is showing signs of aging & was originally spec'd -3db @ 25Khz if you ever test & perform the same mod on System 8Mk2's, I'm certainly interested in the upgrade. enjoying the RUclips episodes greatly. thanks again.
Thanks for the great video. I won a Tannoy Cheviot vintage. I'ld like to upgrade the xo and buy kits from you. If you please make some video on Tannoy Cheviot that will be great.
Hi thank you very much for your always excellent videos. I am surprised that a speaker meant for a recording studio (this is my guess) is not very well optimized More than surprised actually Quite shocked I wonder if they assume that the recording engineers equalize their speakers any way in their studios I do not know how much popular is EQ in recording studios Thanks a lot, gino
Doesnt the impedance rise only matter realy if you were playing that specific frequancy? music is constant overlayed frequencies and therefore the amp would be loaded down anyways?
Danny's T-shirt vs The Camera! Who will win????? The Shirt. The shirt beat the sh*t out off that poor camera. That camera will never be the same. His lens will leave him now and his SD cards won't talk to him anymore.
I've used my System 600's for years. The lack of top end and the mid range weirdness took a while to adjust to. I now have the gear to modify them and run full, two-way active with dsp and wonder how much I might be able to correct. Have you ever worked a set of the smaller System 600's?
I see you fix many crossovers by just crossing the hf driver lower than it originally was, which in itself is often beneficial in many cases, yes, except that not many tweeters and cd can go as low without distorting a lot. Plus if FS of a tweeter is higher than your crossover point then that is a pretty good sign not to cross it that low...This one seems to have over 2.5khz fs and you get it to play up to 1.5khz...Did you do any distortion measurements before and after at decent sound levels?
The Fs on that tweeter is much lower than that. And it is almost impossible to get any real accurate distortion measurements outside of an anechoic chamber. Plus distortion is not all that linear. It will vary with output levels. So those measurements really don't tell you much.
Many fixes move the cross over point lower, but we never get to see the distortion before/after modification. Maybe that is something you could add? I'd be concerned about strain on the tweeter or not being able to play loud.
Distortion plots obtained for sine wave reproduction do not reflect speaker's behaviour when playing music, most speakers' impulse response falls far short of what one would expect and don't even try to reproduce a squarewave accurately. Distortion figures for speakers generally start at 20-50% at the lower end of the spectrum before gradually reaching to between 1 and 0.1% higher up for best examples. Higher order crossover placed at a lower frequency will cause less excitation of the tweeter near its fundamental resonance frequency than a 1st order crossing higher up, for example, hence offer higher SPL capability.
And some tweeters have distortion above 1-5% even a good octave above their resonant frequency, ~2kHz so no, it is not only about resonant frequency/excursion. As for the impulse, it would be nice to see it indeed, which is more determined by cross over point, slope, and integration with midwoofer.
Finally. The danny Tannoy mind meld. Now can someone please get Danny a 15" monitor gold or hpd so we can finally put to bed what will or will not make a better vintage Tannoy crossover?? Come in hive mind. Let's do this.
I’d love to see you measure and design for a filter for the newest Legacy series Tannoy Arden. Shipping from 🇨🇦may be an issue. Did you remove the Tannoy Autoformer?
I don't believe Tannoy used an autoformer in the System 10, they are only used in the larger more expensive models. I'm looking forward to hearing Danny's take on the crossover in the bigger model as the autoformer goes hand in hand with the various adjustments he mentioned.
@@electrafixion71 No, but they do use an adjustable crossover (with options for both roll-off and energy) in the Ardens which is what the OP decided to ask about when this thread was started. That is what would be interesting.
@@yuckysamson The OP is my friend, he owns my old Arden Legacy speakers. I said the I don't think the System series used autoformers, but I know for sure that all of the "big" dual concentrics use them including vintage and current Ardens. Even the DC10A model I have now has an autoformer despite the fact they don't have HF energy or roll-off adjustments.
1 question why do we want a flat frequency response.when anyone over the age 35 will start to lose more and more frequencies in our hearing specially high frequency! wouldn't it be better to keep high frequency slightly high to compensate ??
I had System 12's (rev1) and still have System 15 DMT-II's, and can tell you the 15's are far better than the 12's, but they are much larger, and have paper cone vs. plastic on the smaller ones. I would go for the 12's over the 10's if you have the space, and much favor the DMT-II version.
Depends on what you’re after. I have 10” nfm ii and I always felt that size was the sweet spot and had a nice mid range. They need space to breathe. I’ve recently had to move my studio space into a smaller room and I’m not getting the best out of my speakers now. Mid range dips. Booming bass. I might have to sell them :(
I hope someone brings in a pair of Tannoy XT8F.. Those have a lytic for the woofer.. I own a pair, they sound great and measure well, but curious what you could do for them..
Your signal path between yourself and your camera needs some attention buddy . Try updating your Shutter motion blur crossover that would be a start....😆😎
Next time Danny will wear a plain white T-Shirt with the phrase; "Go ahead, make a RUclips comment about my T-Shirt". Oooh! I should have one made up just to wear and confuse everyone who didn't see this video. Print all that on the shirt too I guess.
@@hughbiggins4339 Inadequate or weak minded engineers are the problem here. He provides measurements of all of these crossovers, and if any do not need re-engineering, he doesn’t do it. The reality is most are put together by people that don’t know what the hell they are doing (or worse, don’t care what they are doing). Similar to you and your off topic comment.

Next time Danny will wear a plain white T-Shirt with the phrase; "Go ahead, make a RUclips comment about my T-Shirt". Oooh! I should have one made up just to wear and confuse everyone who didn't see this video. Print all that on the shirt too I guess.
Why are so many speakers so bad that a couple of hundred dollars can completely change them
Nothing wrong with the speakers. The problem lies with the snake oil this bozo sells to the weak minded.
@@hughbiggins4339 Inadequate or weak minded engineers are the problem here. He provides measurements of all of these crossovers, and if any do not need re-engineering, he doesn’t do it. The reality is most are put together by people that don’t know what the hell they are doing (or worse, don’t care what they are doing). Similar to you and your off topic comment.
@@rustyshackleford6978 How little you know Rusty...but I suppose that explains your comment.
@@hughbiggins4339 how else is this snake oil salesman supposed to sell "upgrades" for all these speakers that don't actually need them,unless he braiwashes them first?
@@dakken74 Good point.
