Setup

The Eyris speakers were lighter than I expected, considering their size and price. The weighting of the speaker tends toward the front, so when they were on the spiked feet that I attached, they could easily fall forward if accidentally hit from the back. The spiked feet attach to plastic feet that jut out sideways and help stability.

One of the first things you might notice that is different about this speaker system are the binding posts. Instead of two or four connections (as typical), there is a fifth connection for grounding. There are some technical papers on the website but I called Tannoy for further clarification. As I understand it, the earth grounding improves high frequency performance in the highest ranges (in the ultrasonic range above 20kHz). Testing apparently has shown that listeners were able to tell a difference even though the improvement is not (technically) in the accepted audio range. Supposedly, grounding improves the phase performance which affects resolution and naturalness that should be even more apparent on the newer high resolution formats like SACD and DVD-A that extend out well beyond 20kHz. (See later in the review for some of my subjective opinions on this.)

The cable that I normally use does not have a shield, although I'm told that some models offer an integrated ground that can be attached to the amplifier directly. Tannoy offered to send me some cables that they sell that are designed specifically for this application. Unfortunately, they did not arrive in time, so I made a makeshift set of cables that I put directly into the ground terminal via a banana plug. This allowed me to easily plug and unplug it to determine how great a difference the grounding made in my test system.

Some of the Tannoy advertising that I've seen in magazines shows the circular layout of the binding posts. It does look cool, but I had a few problems with the design. The first was that with the bi-wire cabling that I was using, it was necessary to stretch the cable way out so that the banana plugs could be inserted at the proper angle. With other wire, this may be an issue due to the distance needed to allow connection. The other problem is the fact that the posts are slightly inset and it was difficult to get my fingers around the posts to loosen and tighten them. The tightening was not an issue (obviously) when using bananas, but would be an issue for any other type of connection.

Right out of the box the speakers sounded far from perfect. I was warned about a lengthy break-in period, so I was sure to run the speakers for extended periods of time (~100 hours). It was lucky that I read through the manual before doing any critical listening, because it is necessary to remove the foam that came inserted into the ports. I had been largely disappointed with the bass capability up to that point, but the removal of the foam made a significant difference.

One of the unique design elements featured in the Eyris speakers is the use of a special type of tweeter. The manual describes the benefits of this driver: correction of time and phase response in the normal audible range, improvements in imaging, increased immediacy, airiness, and impact. This driver is rated within 6 dB up to 44kHz. Unlike many of the Tannoy designs with which I'm familiar, the Eyris series does NOT use a concentric tweeter and midrange design. I questioned Tannoy about this and they replied that a new (more expensive) series was in development that would incorporate the wideband high frequency module and utilize a concentric design as well. There is a white paper on the website that gives explanation of both of these design philosophies.

In addition to a smaller floor-standing speaker and a bookshelf model, there is also a center channel and rear speaker system available in the Eyris series. I'm told a subwoofer is on the way. I was only sent the single pair of speakers for review, so all review material was confined to two-channel stereo listening. The manual offers information on cable and amplifier choice, connection options, bi-amplification, positioning and fine-tuning, and information about the other speakers in the line. The manual suggests removal of the grill for the best sound, so I left them off during listening. In the fine-tuning section of the manual there were specific suggestions about distances from the wall and angling that I was able to accommodate during my listening tests. Their suggestions are 15 feet apart, 20 inches from the rear wall, and 39 inches from the sidewalls. There are diagrams for both connection and placement in the manual.
