Tannoy Impulse 10 120W Dual Concentric Speakers – PRO RESTORED – 1-Year Warranty

Professionally Restored by HQaudios – Fully Tested – Backed by Our 1-Year Warranty.

Up for sale is the Tannoy Impulse 10, a vintage 2-way bass-reflex bookshelf loudspeaker system featuring Tannoy’s 2588 Dual Concentric driver.

Introduced during the mid-1980s, the Impulse 10 represents Tannoy’s approach to compact high-performance loudspeakers, combining a coaxial driver architecture with a front-ported enclosure. The 2588 Dual Concentric design integrates the low-frequency and high-frequency sections around a common acoustic axis, giving the speaker a coherent presentation from a relatively compact cabinet.

This pair has been professionally restored, serviced, and tested by HQaudios while preserving the original engineering, cabinet character, and vintage presentation of the Tannoy Impulse 10.

Sound Character

The Tannoy Impulse 10 delivers a coherent and natural presentation characteristic of Tannoy’s Dual Concentric approach. The bass-reflex enclosure provides a solid foundation for a compact bookshelf design, while the coaxial driver arrangement helps maintain a focused relationship between the low and high-frequency sections.

The midrange is particularly well suited to vocals, acoustic instruments, jazz, and classic recordings, with the integrated high-frequency section providing clear detail without separating the upper register from the main driver. Dynamics remain lively and engaging, while the controlled dispersion of the coaxial design can help create a stable stereo image and convincing soundstage.

The Impulse 10 is well suited to listeners who enjoy vocal, jazz, blues, acoustic, classical, and vintage recordings, and it can work especially well in systems where imaging, tonal coherence, and compact cabinet size are important.
