Tannoy Speakers


Who here owns, owned, or has auditioned Tannoy speakers? What did you think of them? If you no longer own them or opted to buy something else, can you tell me why? I'm trying to decide what my next set of speakers will be.

My uncle had classic co-auxial 15 incher, and they sounded warm and pleasant. They are classics for a reason.

But not all Tannoy offerings sound good = especially now.

The good sounding ones cost quite a bit. If you can find an old one that still is in good condition, that might be your ticket to sonic heaven.

The prestige series sounded good - especially for classical, but they are quite expensive. Me thinks one can get similar quality for less.

Lesser offerings didn't do it for me - there are better alternatives out there - you might want to check out Canadian speakers like Paradigm, PSB, etc, if your price range is not upto the Tannoy prestige series.

Tannoys can sound really good - their top models, but lesser ones are not good values in audio - also they seem tobe over priced for what they do.

They seem to play this game of over charging - making buyers feel that there must be something to the high cost, when in reality, it's just over charging - compared to other companies.

Canadian speakers are good value - might want to audition them, before buying British speakers.

Paradigm studio sound good, and are reasonably priced - they are a little polite sounding speakers - if you like that quality in speakers.
