TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?


Hello all,
I heard Tannoy will give up the Hi-Fi part of their iconic brand. They would stop the public part for developping the "Pro" side. Do you have some infos ?

Not certain if it has actually happened yet, but they were supposed to have closed the Coatbridge Scotland factory due to some lease issue and the fact that someone wants to build housing on the property....there is no definitive answer that I can find that confirms this has happened. I bought my Tannoy Legacy Eatons January 2020, maybe they were one of the last pair made there. The date of construction on speakers was late 2019. It would be a shame if the closure does happen, or has already occurred. However, like someone previously pointed out, rejoice in the fact that you own the Tannoys, no matter what happens. 

Not to reignite an older thread, but out of curiosity, I contacted Audio Emotion in UK Scotland to inquire about the coatbridge factory. They claim that it is not entirely closed yet, in fact they said they are expecting a new shipment of tannoy speakers from Glasgow today. So I have no idea what the deal is with the rumors .
