The Radian 5215b turned out to be an intermediary stop along ScottвЂ™s journey from вЂњLowther guyвЂќ to вЂњTannoy guyвЂќ. We made the trek, and Scott bought the speakersвЂ¦I helped him get them home. This was interesting to me because, a few years ago, my friend Scott Fraser called me and asked if IвЂ™d make a trip with him to check out a pair of Radians that were for sale in DIY Tannoy Stuart style cabinets. And a glance at his business card told me he also resided in my hometown.ДЇrank and I continued to talk regularly after TAVES, and I learned that heвЂ™s been modifying Radian crossovers for quite a while вЂ“ and using souped-up Radian dual-concentrics in his Coherent speakers. His pride and joy Coherent Speakers Model 10 sounded great and looked greatвЂ¦the room was abuzz with people while I was there. Frank was a regular guy, an audio enthusiast with a sparkle in his eye.

The classic Tannoy design, high-tech advances in driver and crossover manufacturing and the finest British cabinetry make Gold Reference the finest evolution of the classic Tannoy Canterbury to date.I first met Frank Fazzalari at last yearвЂ™s TAVES show in Toronto. The dual variable distributed port system and TannoyвЂ™s signature High-Frequency power switch gives unique flexibility with room placement and personal tuning. The Canterbury GRвЂ™s 15in Dual with its signature PepperPot WaveGuideв„ў, Alnico motor system, and HF compression driver delivers a superbly dynamic overall presentation with fast, accurate bass and a fluid and open midrange. The timeless beauty of the oiled walnut veneer and hand selected burr walnut inlays is complemented with gold anodized machined metal trim and a welcome return of the classic Tannoy lightning strike logo. The extensively braced and damped cabinet is made with time-honoured traditional craftsmanship by TannoyвЂ™s finest cabinet makers. The bespoke birch plywood cabinetry has been engineered with a Variable Distributed Port system allowing low-frequency output to be tuned to suit any room dimensions. The process has allowed the Canterbury GR to achieve unparalleled gains in resolution and deliver an even more natural and cohesive sound. Featuring Tannoy-specification ICW Claritењњapв„ў MR capacitors, low loss laminated core inductors and thick-film resistors, the entire crossover is Deep Cryogenically Treated as a whole unit. The massive Canterbury crossover has been redesigned to provide a cleaner and more accurate signal to the new 15in Dual. Capable of high-volume listening without fatigue, the Gold Reference Dual brings even greater naturalness and presence to the Tannoy Canterbury loudspeaker. The use of new Mylarв„ў surround materials offer improved damping and motor cooling, resulting in exceptional clarity and articulation throughout the HF range. The Canterbury GRвЂ™s HF unit marks a significant leap forward in the technology and performance comprising a new aluminium-magnesium alloy compression driver diaphragm that has been heat treated to further improve it mechanical integrity under HF loads. The cone is terminated with a twin roll surround of impregnated fabric for improved damping characteristics. The low-frequency section of the GR driver has a new fibre enriched paper pulp cone material to realise further improvements in the coneвЂ™s mechanical characteristics.
