Trapezoid cabinet minimises standing waves. Mass loaded dual concentric cone reflects back wave w/out any colouration, resonance or turbulance. Floor spikes minimise bass loss through flooring, and sand in the cabinets minimise vibrations. Overall, a very tight crystal clear sound. Biwireable.

Due to the very flat response over the range that some loudspeakers just dont meet, to others not used to a very flat response sound, they can sound very harsh in the upper mid, lower higher region. Banana plugs are a requirement, as these speakers are a pain to wire normally. Damn heavy.

As a music technology student and an audiophile in my spare time, I love music and I like as accurate reproduction of it as possible. I work with flat response monitors anyway on my course, and after listening to music on those then listening to the same piece on home loudspeakers, you notice a cetain lack of clarity and the amount of colouration that home loudspeakers provide. A did my research into these speakers, and they consist of 3 drivers, two of which are mounted dual concentrically, which are the HF and the 8 inch mid/upper bass driver. Below it is a supplementary 8 inch bass driver. The dual concentric driver is exactly the same technology used in high end professional Tannoy monitors. These speakers provide a flat response from 45hz up to 30Khz with very little fluctuation, and basically they sound amazing. I was scepticle about buying portless speakers such as these, since from previous experiences, sealed cabinets haven''t provided the low end extension that I''ve thrived for, even though my 10 inch Tannoy Oxford T125 provide alot of deep bass as weel as port turbulance. But combined with the supplimentary bass unit and the mass loaded upper bass cone, these speakers provided tight, fast responding bass with the depth of ported cabs, without the port turbulance. I can play all styles from trip hop to jazz, and classical to jungle music on these speakers and they will not do anything unjust to the music. (My model happens to be the 611 mkII)

Beautifull box, big sound.

The midlle frenquencies are dimmed by the too much crisppy hight frenquencies.

It's a beautifull pair of loudspeakers! well built.
The sound is big! It plays well with allmost kinds of music.
The only issue with them is the higth frequencies: they are too much for the rest of the sound and it tends to go very hard.
I have a pair of the first 611's for more than 10 years and still playing very well. I know that this problem with the hight frequencies was kind of solved with the MkII version... I hope so.

The dual concentric type speakers.Its treble were crsytal
clear, and rich integrated bass.The six-sided panel were
belive to reduce resonances from its cabinet distortion.A
worth arcivement and averange type speaker.

Its weaknesses very difficult to detact out.Its looks like
were hidden.

This six-sided loudspeakers seem brilliant and beautiful,
like a princess.With its 8" dual concentric and 8" bass
unit, its always ready to recieve a challenge from the
future or the next performances.Beneath its drive units its
was a refined version of the old Tannoy DC 2000.Means,its
was a 'daugther' of DC 2000.If were crank it with a loud,
hard music like heavymetal,funk&soul,or electricfying dance
music its does this job better.Its also sound electricfying
and vitality too when I used it for video games,like the
clashing sound effect from the figthing games such as
'Street Figther Zero' or the top worlds RPG games such as
'Final Fantasy' or 'Tomb Raiders' on my Sony Playstation
video games.The only reason why I say like this instead of
praising the speakers is,I listen to its sound with my
heart and my soul,coinded together within my ears because
my listening philosophy is "Listen with your heart,then
you will understand."
