Recently I got a set of small Tannoy DC
speakers with x-over filters without cabinets.
I did not know what model# they were, so I had to find what they are.
Here is what I found:
Here you see that the speaker units are from the Sensys series.
Another Sensys box for sale on the internet.

The speaker units were broken and the cones
aluminium foil was teared.
In order to save the speakers I had to remove the foil completely from the bass
cones,
rebuild the bass cones and apply the cones with hardening coating and re-glue
them back into the chassis.
Also I had to change the original x-overs as the accompanying supertweeters were broken
as well, that I also repaired later.
This is what I got when I put them into new cabinets:
The sound is surpisingly good with the newly assembled x-over from the parts of the original Tannoy x-over.
I think I have saved the speakers from a certain death.
