It’s not a class leader, but its big, hearty sound is alluring and easy to live with

Perhaps not as ‘special’ as we’d like, but there’s ample zest to spice up your movies

Stylish speakers that can add a very likeable sound to their resume, these are well worth auditioning

A great looking speaker that offers plenty of bass and scale, but falls short on subtlety and timing

An exciting, punchy listen – but there are compromises

A very good set of speakers that stop just short of greatness – more excitement and better balance would tip the scales in their favour

The 6.2s are beautifully balanced and hugely listenable speakers, with a stereo image to die for

The impressive dynamic extension produced by this system shows you don't have to have huge speakers to build tension and atmosphere

Retaining the basic concept of Tannoy's successful and long-lived Mercury design, the V1s are a joy to listen to, with few vices

Impressive in some areas, but for this sort of money we'd expect performance to be a bit better

Tannoy serves up a winner here, with its TS-10 subwoofer. It's compact and agile, with great definition. What more could you want?

They might be small, but we found these Tannoys come complete with a big, sonic heart

There’s nothing wrong with what this Tannoy does – it differentiates bass notes well and is able to start and stop promptly – but the overall signatur

These big units will need space to breathe but they produce a massive sound

They may be picky about positioning, but get it right and the DC4s won't fail to impress with oodles of drive and determination
