Revolution DC4LCR Features:
Audiophile crossover – Low loss laminated core inductors and audiophile-grade polypropylene capacitors are used exclusively throughout the Revolution range. This no-compromise approach ensures the best possible signal integrity to both the HF and LF sections of the Dual Concentric™ driver, enhancing the pin-sharp imaging and point-source musical integrity for which Tannoy’s ‘Dual’ driver is famed.
Optimum signal path – To minimize pathway signal losses and reduce interaction between individual components, internal structure and component topology is kept as simple as possible. This attention to fine detail runs throughout the Revolution design.
Precious metal components – Silver-plated, high purity oxygen-free copper internal wiring and chromed speaker terminals are a true high-end feature of the Revolution range. These exotic components offer low-loss, high current signal transfer to ensure every musical nuance is reproduced
Trapezoid cabinets – Giving Revolution its distinctive look and compact footprint, the trapezoidal cabinet design reduces internal resonances and reflections. Tall, yet slim and elegant the DC6T cabinet features the latest (150mm / 6.00in) Dual Concentric™ driver and an auxiliary (150mm/6.00in) bass driver for added bass extension and low frequency impact. The acoustically ideal from of the trapezoid cabinet and extensive internal bracing enhances rigidity, reduces internal reflections and delivers incredibly low cabinet colouration.
Tannoy’s Dual Concentric™ drivers have long been respected for their musical coherence, precision and detail. The Revolution range incorporates an ultra compact (100mm / 4.00”) but high powered and wide bandwidth version of Tannoy’s world renowned proprietary driver technology. The unit combines a multi fibre paper pulp low frequency cone and a titanium domed tweeter unit with a neodymium magnet system offering true point-source musical integrity and exceptional instrumental accuracy. The driver’s rigid chassis and multi-point fixing augments Revolution’s spacious, dynamic sound that thoroughly belies its elegant stature.

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.
