Tannoy Stirlings on the way!


Hi, everybody.  Longtime member, first time caller.

I just ordered up a pair of Tannoy Stirling GR floorstanders, and, frankly, I'm looking for people to rejoice with!

I'm a speakers guy, through and through.  I've got Dynaudios, Focals, B&Ws, Totems, Wharfedales, Klipsches, and even my old Polk 5Bs, the first speakers I ever bought, way back in the '80s.  I wanted to try something very different, and the Prestige line Tannoys really spoke to me.  The coincident drivers, the old-school-ish paper cone, the old-school cabinets and ports.  I'm really looking forward to hearing how they soundstage!

I thought about getting the Turnberrys, but the Stirlings should be just about the perfect size for my [extremely irregular] room.  Especially since I already have a pair of subs.

I'm pretty chuffed.

Got a pair of new Stirling GR's last year - you're in for a treat - they are my last speakers...congrats & enjoy!

Big thanks muveling!  Looks like it's readily available a few places.  I've only waxed mine once since 2019 and the factory supplied will be gone in another application or so.  Curious, where did you order yours?

follow the unboxing instructions closely...I watched a video or 2 on youtube which helped beforehand and enjoy!
I've never felt the need for raising my Stirling GR's on stands or tilting them.  I've played with different height listening chairs to hear the difference and still use a listening chair I've owned for over 25 yrs.  I like the way they sound as they were designed just fine. 

Been enjoying my Stirling GR's since 2019....no stands, subwoofers, etc.  Just a great amp, decent source and cabling is all I need - just as Tannoy intended them.  Best sound I ever had over and done - SNAP!
