Tannoy follows up on the SFX 5.1 with the TFX 5.1-- now offering Dolby True HD and DTS HD-Master Audio compatibility in an entry-level all-in-one package.
The TFX satellite and centre channel speakers carry Tannoy WideBand technology, with a tweeter extending response to over 70kHz and surround sound freqnecies to up to 48kHz (LPCM at 96kHz/24-bit).
The company says the original enclosures from the SFX are now reshaped and streamlined, eliminating standing sound waves in key frequencies while getting the best from the driver and crossover upgrades. Cabinet construction is "advanced polymer," while revised bracing delivers tighter mid-range punch.
The TFX subwoofer also sees improvement, with a long-throw 8" driver and 100-watt class A/B amplifier. Finally, a revised TFX filter network should ensure seamless bass and satellite output integration, for a smoother full-range soundstage.
