Tannoy?


Tannoy speakers are quite popular in Japan and Taiwan. I noticed that people have high regard for old Tannoy speakers using Red, Gold, or the HPD drivers. But in the States, I could not find a single Hi-Fi store to audition Tannoy speakers in my state. It seems B&W speakers are much more popular in the States.

Comments?

P.S. I owned a pair of Tannoy Devon when I was in high school. :)

Don't know why, but Tannoy's ( for many years ) have been very popular in Canada. In my opinion, I wouldn't even look at anything less than 25 years old. The Golds, Silvers and Royals, and even HPD 385's were all fabulous duo-concentric drivers and could all be driven by low powered SET's - too bad they've all been out of production for years. (by the way Tannoy, is a short term for Tantalum alloy, for those that didn't know.)
