    Tannoy - "The Mallorcan System".
    "This bookshelf system has been designed to provide the ultimate inhigh fidelity sound reproduction in a compact and decorator-styledcabinet.  Its frequency response is from 35Hz to 20,000Hz, achieved by a12" Monitor Gold Dual Concentric loudspeaker embodying a horn-loaded highfrequency tweeter and a specially designed 12" woofer; the crossoverfrequency is 1,000Hz.  The Monitor Gold series' dynamic balance androll-off control in included to allow adjustment to the high frequency responseif required: full details of this are given in the Monitor Gold brochure. Tocomplement the speaker, the enclosure incorporates a tuned Circlovent port toensure maximum performance.
    The Mallorcan system is capable of being driven by amplifiers havingas little as 15-watts per channel: it is therefore in the high efficiencyspeaker category.  Its power handling capacity is considerable and,although it will operate at high volume with fatigue, it can be played at thelowest level without losing its overall tonal quality.  The system hasbeen designed to encompass all the fine qualities of the Monitor Gold Dual Concentricrange of speakers.
    Truly a system for the connoisseur who requires the performance and"open" sound usually associated with larger speaker systems but haslimited space available, the Mallorcan with its dynamic transients, widefrequency range, excellent instrument definition, and overall superior quality,offers sheer listening pleasure.
