Big Sound, Beautiful Finish

HTS201

HTS from Tannoy brings Tannoy sound quality to compact, stylish home theatre speakers.

Distributor Audio Products Group says the high-performance, ultra-compact loudspeakers are “luxuriously finished” in a deep gloss black to blend with modern homes and contemporary decor.

“HTS is the ultimate ‘no compromise’ system for home theatre fans wanting the very best performance from a simple, sophisticated and elegantly discreet home theatre speaker package.”

Tannoy apparently has achieved this by combining neodymium drivers and its famous Wideband (TM) Tweeter technology with (proper) high-density wood fibre cabinets.

The Audio Porducts Group release says each HTS loudspeaker delivers “a supremely rich and detailed sound throughout the mid- and top-end frequencies with a smooth LF roll-off designed to integrate seamlessly with the matching HTS subwoofer”.

Tannoy HTS is available in two packages. The HTS 101 ($1,699) is a discreet, exceptionally compact wall or shelf mount system for smaller spaces.

Housed in their rigid wooden cabinets, the HTS satellites are voice-matched with the HTS centre channel, itself featuring twin mid bass drivers to maximise cinema dialogue.

“The potent yet discreet HTS active subwoofer offer precise upper frequency roll-off to deliver the bottom octave of main channel sound and movie LFE,” the release promises.

“The HTS subwoofer features a downward facing 8-inch long-throw driver to deliver deep low frequency effects from any convenient room location.”

The HTS 201 ($2,199) is for larger rooms and optimises performance for music and movies, delivering a larger scale sound and fuller acoustic across the front soundstage.
