Hi All,
I have a pair of Tannoy DC200s which I'm currently using in my second system and which I rather like.
The thing is I strongly suspect that the cabinets are what's holding them back (plus they sure is ugly). The current cabs are stand mounters, seem to be made of chipboard, with a single port and a volume of 33 litres. I'm toying with the idea of building (with a friend who is a cabinet maker), some new cabinets and re using the drivers. The drivers are 10" Tannoy Dual Concentrics.
I confess at this point that I know next to nothing about speaker design, which is why I was hoping you chaps might be able to help here. Size (within reason) isn't an issue here. I was hoping for something which would improve the quality of the bass, which with the current cabs tend to be a bit one note. I know there are various design choices here but really don't know which would be best.
The only info I've been able to find about the DC200 is here:
And some pics:
Any advice would be appreciated
