TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?

I have the Tannoy Turnberry speakers.  Excellent, full, lush sound.  I hear instruments I never knew existed on LPs I have had for over 30 years.  I've had many speakers over the years, including some that cost twice as much as the Turnberry.  None compare.  Best purchase I have ever made to improve my system.

@yogiboy  Not so!  As @brianh61 correctly points out, the SP models within the F500 range are hand built in Scotland.

I live a couple of miles from the Tannoy factory in Coatbridge.  I have owned a pair of Eatons, Devons, Little reds, Little Golds and for the last 10 years a pair of D700 which I can't let go!  (loved every pair) Thought I'd share a wee Tannoy story from the past.  Walked in to the reception with a Devon driver - back in the day (about 30 years ago) I thought it sounded a bit dull compared to the other one, asked if I could book it in with an engineer to have a look at it.  An old guy appeared - complete with brown coat - and said "come on through son" he led me through the factory to his workshop - explaining the different workstations on the way - popped my speaker on the scope, made a few adjustments "perfect" he says. I asked what the charge was and he said "free, just come back over if you have any problems" - God I miss those days!

@baggyaudio now that's an awesome story!

I owned a pair of HPD315s which I acquired in 1980. They were my mainstays until I sold them last year. Not a perfect speaker system, but a rather enjoyable one for it's unique sonic qualities. They definitely had that "British sound".
