Tannoy Definition DC10T

Gorgeous speakers and a very nice listening space you have there as well. Great!

One question, I've always wondered what one is supposed to do with that extra binding post that tannoy provides????

The extra post is a ground

Ok, for what? Am I supposed to ground the speakers? Run some wire from that post to where? Any hunk of metal touching the ground? A ground post on my amp?

Google "Tannoy grounding" and go to the support section of Tannoy's site. It will answer all your questions as to why and how to.

Apparently you overestimate my interest. Guess I will continue wondering. ; )

Grounding is supposed to assist rejection of RF interference- heard many demos with & without grounding wire/post used- never heard a difference.

I have had those exact same cherry Tannoy DC10Ts in my system for some time now and have enjoyed them very much with my Vac amplification and TW Acustic vinyl setup.

I don't think they are the last word in airiness, resolution or absolute bass control but they are a bargain and have a coherence, natural presentation and compelling liveliness (toe tapping/magnetic draw in, etc) that trumps obsession with those other qualities for me. I would have to agree with Alberto in his use of the term "delicious" for Tannoy. I have heard another fellow describe them as delivering goosebumps and that is not far off either. They are fun speakers and just sound like real music in live venues to me.

I may be looking at Rockport Atria or Magico S3 for a change of pace and potential move up at some point in the future, but I honestly could live with these Tannoys for a long time with no regrets. After having them for a couple of years now, I still enjoy them that much. I am off to New Orleans soon for a little vacation and cued up Allen Touissaint's The Bright Mississippi vinyl for a little pre-trip visualization for New Orleans jazz - thought I was there already!

Happy listening.

Awesome, Jim - thanks for sharing…I'd love to see a pic posted here in the thread. I was thinking that it was going to be a small "owners club" but happy to hear someone else has a pair here! Glad to hear you've loving yours after a couple years - I'm hoping to do the same!!!
