Thanks for your info Joseph. The build quality of the Eyris is
reported to be first rate, so I imagine the major reason why the Eyris
didn't sound as good as the Saturns was because the Eyris originally
lacked the dual concentric driver. However, now that there's an Eyris
dual concentric line, I imagine that the sound quality has improved.
Have you had a chance to listen to the new versions?

I'm curious if anyone has bought or given a good listen to the Sensys
or Eyris line of speakers from Tannoy....especially in their latest
dual concentric versions. There doesn't seem to be much objective
information on them out there. Are these considered a step up or a
step down from Tannoy's discontinued Saturn series? I know that the
Eyris 3 got an unfavorable review from one audio magazine, while the
Eyris 1 got an excellent review from another.

Sensys and Eyris are trying to replace the Revolution and Saturns.
They don't sound as decent - it seems as if Tannoy is intent on
doing what JBL did years ago - split into a cheap mass marketed
imported line and have their premium line.

My take on this is - buy a Saturn S6C instead. It sounds nearly the
same as the S8C but costs less and is smaller.
