Tannoy Fusion 2 Bookshelf Speakers — Apple Finish, Pair
The Tannoy Fusion 2 is a beautifully voiced 2-way bookshelf speaker from the legendary British loudspeaker maker, combining drivers derived from Tannoy’s acclaimed Revolution series with a well-braced cabinet inherited from the Mercury line — hence the name “Fusion.” The result is a speaker that punches well above its modest price point with a smooth, refined, and engaging sound that is unmistakably Tannoy.
The Fusion 2 pairs a 6.5-inch paper cone woofer with a 1-inch nitro-urethane layer-dampened woven polyester dome tweeter — a sophisticated high-frequency driver whose damped dome eliminates the harshness and sibilance that plagues lesser tweeters, delivering smooth, extended treble with excellent detail retrieval. The 4th-order acoustic Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 2.8kHz ensures a seamless transition between drivers with controlled dispersion, creating a wide, stable soundstage that belies the speaker’s compact dimensions. The front-firing reflex port extends bass response to a genuine 48Hz, and its forward-facing position means these speakers can be placed closer to a rear wall than rear-ported designs without exciting room boundary effects.
Fans of Tannoy’s popular Mercury MX2 will find the Fusion 2 a compelling step up. The Fusion 2 features a larger 6.5-inch woofer compared to the MX2’s 5.7-inch driver, a larger and heavier cabinet for improved bass authority, and most notably, the Revolution-derived nitro-urethane dampened polyester dome tweeter — a more refined and sophisticated high-frequency driver than the MX2’s standard soft dome, delivering smoother, more detailed treble with better control. The front-firing port also offers greater placement flexibility than the MX2’s rear-ported design.
At 88dB sensitivity and a stable 8-ohm impedance, the Fusion 2 is an easy, friendly load for any amplifier from 10 to 85 watts RMS — they’ll sing happily with a modest integrated amp yet reward better amplification with improved dynamics and control. Magnetic shielding makes them safe for placement near CRT displays and other sensitive electronics.
This pair presents in very good condition in the attractive and less common Apple finish — a warm, light-toned woodgrain that pairs beautifully with the deep ruddy brown grilles that are a signature of the Fusion series. Tested and inspected by our team at Radique Audio.

Tannoy began in London in 1926, and since the late 1940s it has been known for its Dual Concentric driver, with the tweeter set in the centre of the woofer. We carry Tannoy towers, bookshelf speakers, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had more than 210 Tannoy listings so far, covering more than 65 different models. Every used Tannoy here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
Our five best-selling Tannoy models so far: the Mercury mx3 towers, the Mercury mx2 and mx1 bookshelf speakers, the PS 110 subwoofer and the Mercury mxC centre.
The Tannoy story, 1926 to today
Guy R. Fountain founded the company in London in 1926 as the Tulsemere Manufacturing Company, making rectifiers and battery chargers for radio sets. It became Tannoy in 1928, a name taken from the tantalum alloy in his rectifier.
The Dual Concentric. Ronnie Rackham's Dual Concentric driver first appeared as the "Monitor Black" in 1947 or 1948 (sources differ). The Monitor Silver, Red and Gold generations followed through the 1950s and 1960s, then the HPD in 1974.
Scotland. Harman International bought Tannoy in 1974, and production moved from London to Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1976. Managers bought the business in 1981, Tannoy merged with Goodmans in the mid-1980s and joined Denmark's TC Group in 2002.
Today. Music Group, later Music Tribe, bought TC Group in 2015. From 2016 the lower-priced ranges, such as Mercury, were made in China, while Prestige stayed in Scotland, where Tannoy's headquarters and assembly are now in Hamilton.
Which Tannoy is which?
1970s HPD cabinets: the Arden, Berkeley, Cheviot, Devon and Eaton, all with Dual Concentric drivers. The Arden, Cheviot and Eaton were reissued as the "Legacy" series in 2017.
Mercury (early 1980s onward): the entry range, through many generations. Our best-selling mx3, mx2, mx1 and mxC come from this family.
Profile (1991 to 1994) and Sensys DC (about 2004): Dual Concentric ranges between Mercury and Prestige.
Revolution (1998 onward): cherry-veneered models such as the R1, R2 and R3.
Prestige (1980s onward): the traditional-styled Dual Concentric range, such as the Westminster and Stirling, later in Gold Reference versions.
Definition (2009): birch-ply Dual Concentric models built in Scotland, such as the DC8 and DC10T.
Buying used Tannoy: what to check
HPD-era surrounds. The surrounds on 1970s drivers rot with age, and many have been replaced. Ask what was replaced and with what.
Dating the drivers. Frame colour alone is not a reliable guide to a Dual Concentric's age; construction details date it better.
Reused names. An Arden, Cheviot or Eaton may be a 1970s original or a 2017 Legacy reissue.
Origin label. From 2016, Mercury and Revolution models were made in China and Prestige in Scotland. Check the label if it matters to you.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
