Audio Eden
Yorkminster SE
Glenair 15
Embodying all that is essential in a classic Tannoy loudspeaker, the Yorkminster is a blend of proven acoustic design, exceptional traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge audio technology. This truly remarkable loudspeaker reproduces music with a performance that ranges effortlessly from captivating delicacy to breathtaking scale and impact.
The Alnico magnet system endows the 12" version of the renowned Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver in the Yorkminster with an exceptional transient response and greatly increased sensitivity over standard motor system materials. The classic aesthetic design of the hand built cabinet is finished in premium hardwood veneers with beautiful solid wood mouldings. The bi-wire terminal on the rear panel also features an ‘earth’ or grounding point. With the driver chassis grounded, this proven technology developed on earlier Prestige models minimises the effects of radio frequency interference in the loudspeaker cables which can affect associated system electronics, resulting in a more transparent midrange.
Presenting the Yorkminster with an Editors Choice Award in Hi Fi News magazine Paul Messenger stated that: “… delicious is an adjective that most readily springs to mind…delectable, delightful and delicate would serve equally well to describe a mid-band in particular that’s wonderfully natural and communicative”. Reinforcing the international respect and high regard for this loudspeaker it was also presented with the coveted Golden Sound Award in Japan.
