The Canterbury 15,
like its smaller brother, employs an Alcomax 3 version of the classic Tannoy
Dual Concentric driver. For this drive unit a substantial high pressure
die-cast 15-inch chassis is used.
This
high-performance drive unit is installed in a cabinet where "attention to
detail" is the byword. Birch ply, from Finland, is used for both the
carcass construction and its substantial bracing. The cabinet is then finished
in selected burr walnut wood veneers and completed with rich mouldings in solid
walnut.
Gold-plated
terminals are employed and give the option of bi-wiring. Van den Hul cable is
used throughout the loudspeaker.
Along with the
hard-wired crossover network and acoustic source aligning system this
top-quality cable ensures minimal signal loss. Both treble level and roll-off
can be adjusted by means of high-current switch blocks. Low frequency output
can be tuned to suit any room and personal taste using Tannoy's unique Variable
Distributed Port System.
The Canterbury 12
and Canterbury 15 loudspeakers are made to special order only. They are
supplied with a certificate of ownership and a polished brass nameplate
engraved with the name of your choice. Both are destined to become true
heilrooms.
