The Tannoy Cheviot Heritage Floor-Standing 12″ Dual Concentric Hi-Fi Loudspeakers embody the legendary High-Performance Dual Concentric (HPD) design that put Tannoy on the map, continuing the classic 1974 pedigree with modern enhancements for home audio enthusiasts. Built as a 2-way floor-standing loudspeaker, the Cheviot features a 12″ Dual Concentric driver that merges the woofer and tweeter into a single point source for exceptionally coherent imaging, natural phase alignment, and seamless sound dispersion across the listening area.
Housed in a heavily reinforced, high-density cabinet with Differential Materials Technology (DMT) bracing and twin front reflex ports, these speakers deliver powerful dynamics, deep controlled bass, and remarkable transient response — all while maintaining tonal clarity from 38 Hz up to 30 kHz (±6 dB). A sophisticated crossover network with dual channels, along with a front-mounted control panel for energy and high-frequency adjustment, lets you tailor the sound to match room acoustics and personal preferences.
High-quality binding posts (24 ct gold plated WBT style) with an extra grounding terminal and 8 mm floor coupling spikes ensure optimal signal integrity and physical stability. With a sensitivity rating of 91 dB, nominal 8 Ω impedance, and recommended amplifier power from 20 W to 250 W, the Cheviot speakers offer versatility across valve, solid-state, and hybrid amplifier setups while delivering a deeply musical, immersive listening experience.
