Tannoy TS 1201 (£600)

摘要

Not having had a Tannoy sub for review before, I was surprised to learn that the new, inexpensive TS range - of which this is the top model - is the first from this famous marque to include high-level inputs, which allow connection to the speaker terminals of a power amplifier. Of course, line-level inputs are also provided for direct connection to processors or multichannel disc players.rnWhat this means is that Tannoy's latest trouser flappers - the 801 with an 8in driver, 1001 with a 10in driver and, you guessed it, 1201 with a 12in driver - are easier to dovetail into a wide variety of audio systems. In a home theatre context you will generally use the LFE output from the AV amplifier or processor, whereas in a conventional music replay system, where line-level outputs downstream of the volume control are often not available, the speaker-level inputs will be a boon.
