Litt info under:
These MkII series Tannoy Sixes look almost identical to their predecessors, and just as different from everything else around. There’s no point in changing a winning formula, after all, even if it is a funny hexagonal shape. The 609 II is therefore just a slightly tweaked version of the original.
It also shares the same basic enclosure as the Tannoy 607 II, the difference due to the fact that the 609 II has one of Tannoy’s famous dual-concentric drive units in place of the conventional main/tweeter arrangement of the 607s. In the dual concentric arrangement, a horn-loaded tweeter is built into the neck of the main cone, so everything is built up on the same solid cast chassis, and all the sound appears to emanate from a single point source.
The hexagonal box shape performs useful mechanical and acoustical functions, conferring rigidity without recourse to bracing, and de-concentrating the internal horizontal standing waves. The top and base are connected by a single brace coupled to the main driver magnet, and the enthusiastic may add sand or lead shot mass loading within the hollow base.
Build and engineering content is good, though cost-effective, heavy gauge, tight wood-screws firmly holding the pressed frame driver into the 19mm vinyl woodprint chipboard,
Sound quality
The Tannoy 609 II did really well in the blind listening tests, coming top of several (but not all) lists. This reflects in part the good overall balance, but also, perhaps, the acoustic advantage of supporting the main driver on a high quality stand with fresh air all round. By the same token, Tannoy’s hexagonal enclosure is also refreshingly low in boxy effects.
The treble is quite transparent if slightly hard-edged and shut-in, while the bass is clear and informative but a bit short of power and authority. The whole package could have more urgency and drive, but the soundstage is natural and generous, and the various limitations are mild in degree – and largely the consequence of erring a little on the side of caution in order to avoid causing offence.
Conclusion
I still have no explanation for the degree of measured difference between this 609 II and its 609 predecessor, but checking a second pair of MkIIs shows the current findings are entirely representative, as well as thoroughly impressive in every respect save perhaps sensitivity.
Evaluation has to take account of the cost of some stands, but there’s no doubt that this speaker is very competitively priced, and significantly better balanced than its less expensive but similar size 607 II stablemate. In consequence deserves firm recommendation. In could have something really very special – but I don’t feel able to estimate the odds.
