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.
