The Tannoy Kensington GR is a premium floorstanding speaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in large-sized rooms. It utilizes Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver technology, which integrates a mid/bass driver and a tweeter into a single unit. This design provides class-leading coherence and point-source imaging, ensuring a more immersive listening experience. The speaker features a 10-inch (25 cm) paper pulp mid/bass cone with an impregnated twin roll fabric surround, paired with a 52mm aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter. The tweeter is positioned within the mid/bass driver and fires through a 'pepper pot' grating into a stainless steel horn, enhancing sensitivity and directivity control. The Dual Concentric driver is powered by an Alnico magnet, contributing to a cleaner transient response and increased sensitivity. The Kensington GR has a sensitivity of 93 dB/Watt and can handle up to 500 Watts of peak power, making it suitable for a wide range of amplifiers. It is recommended to use amplifiers with an output of 20 to 250 Watts RMS for optimal performance. The speaker's frequency response spans from 29 Hz to 27 kHz (-6 dB), providing a comprehensive audio spectrum. The cabinet is constructed from high-density birch ply and particle board, incorporating a Distributed Port system for enhanced low-frequency performance. The design also includes Differential Materials Technology (DMT) for optimized audio performance. Aesthetically, the speaker features a precision-machined gold anodized aluminum adjustment panel, adding elegance to its design. The Kensington GR supports biwiring and benefits from this setup, offering more precise and lucid sound. Additionally, it includes an extra terminal for grounding, which can further enhance sound clarity when connected to an amplifier.
