amazingly enough, exactly what i thought here

The jury is still out on this one Ruud.

In the manual the tannoy people say something *very* similar to what our
pal shp is saying.

Yes, similar but not quite the same.
The literature from Tannoy is different.
That sounds like the marketing guys spin.
I looked at the manual and the connection diagrams.
I'd like to see how the x-over is configured since you
can jumper the terminals or run bi-amp.
Does not show jumpered to earthing terminal.
The earthing feature is interesting, but doesn't actually
indicate where the connection is inside.
Shielding isn't very effective if the wires terminate outside
an unshielded enclosure, the ends are still exposed to RFI.
RFI is usually a source cable problem and amplified, or a
poor design issue at the circuit component level.
