Most ceiling speakers fake bass. They cover the frequencies politely but the low end is thin, unconvincing — background music that announces its own limitations. The Tannoy CVS 801S LZ was built to solve that exact problem. An 8-inch in-ceiling subwoofer operating at low impedance (8 ohms), designed for installations where sound quality is actually part of what the space is selling.

Tannoy has been engineering speakers for professional and commercial environments since the 1940s. The CVS 801S LZ carries that pedigree into the ceiling — deep, clean bass response that gives a music or hospitality installation the foundation it needs to feel serious. Pair it with quality satellite speakers and the room transforms.

The Emporium sourced this for the builders and installers who spec spaces that sound as good as they look. If that's your brief, this is your subwoofer.
