Tannoy Arena 5.1 Speaker System
TANNOY ARENA 5.1 SPEAKER SYSTEM REVIEW: Good Looking and Smart Too
October 2006 By ––Clint WalkerWith the speakers in place, I use my 100-watt per channel Rotel receiver as the engine to drive the Arena. This proves to be a wonderful match as the Arena proved to be a masterpiece performance right out of the box. Nevertheless, I allow a run of 24 hours before pushing them further.
The top-end was everything I anticipated it would be. Having owned a much pricier Tannoy Eyris ensemble years ago, I reminisce with excitement and surprise at the promise the younger sibling delivers—brilliant.
The WideBand technology is present, delivering vocals and midrange notes that are impeccable, while the 300-watt, 10-inch Arena Subwoofer establishes anchorage dead center of the sound. It seems almost a shame to abuse these speakers during a theater evaluation.
During cinema testing, the Tannoy Arena really establish themselves as a well-rounded speaker ensemble. What I enjoyed about them during music evaluations, I simply love during the cinema testing. Here, the WideBand Dual Concentric speakers deliver a wide soundstage with a remarkable ability to pinpoint individual sounds during complex scenes. Did I mention these speakers are also good looking? yy
