A nice website for Tannoy fans

I've been saving for some time now in hopes of landing a new pair of Edinburghs, and in the course of some casual web-browsing, came across this website that I thought might be of interest to some:

http://www.users.bigpond.com/tunnelgap/Tannoy/Tannoy1.html

I know there's a few vintage Tannoy owners here, and this site contains some information on replacing worn out surrounds as well as a source for obtaining new surround replacements. Plenty of other neat stuff there, as well.

 

I thought you might like that site. There's a picture in there somewhere of two Lancaster cabinets, one standard and one corner model. Classic stuff.

 

Joe Meek used Tannoy REDS, I believe. Anything Joey used is ok with me!!

 

Yea baby!!!

 

Tannoy RULES!

Cool! Thanks for posting this link.
I own some recent Tannoys but I one day will get lucky and stumble on some vintage models for dirt cheap. I will! I can feel it. Think positive.

Steve, those gold drivers are way cool!!!! Did you ever have to re-cone any of your drivers?

 

There is a pair for sale on ebay.http://search.ebay.com/search/searc...ty=MetaEndSort&BasicSearch=&from=R2&catref=C3

 

The proprietor of that Tannoy Site also runs a very good site devoted to Leak, and wrote an excellent book about Leak called 'Firsts in High Fidelity.' There is a yahoo egroup too, just called Tannoy.
Another excellent, and associated Tannoy site, is Hans Hiberlink's:

You can see a pair that I had a hand it building at:

They are now complete and sound great. I just haven't updated the page. And of course, they would be better with Golds...

 

Just to let everyone know that in Jeff's link hiberlink there is an Avenue tracking cookie loaded into your computer when you view this site.

 

Yeah, it's all part of a dastardly plan to track Tannoy lovers!

 

I'm HERE all the time.

 

And to use peoples computers for their own dastardly spam mail. Bast**ds!

 

Steve,

Those Tannoy drivers look mucho cool. I'll bet they sound excellent too.

I love Tannoys, IMO there are no speakers that sound better. I use a pair of System 8s as studio monitors and a pair of Tannoy Reveal (which the System 8's replaced) in my reference system as front L/Rs with a Tannoy MXC-M center speaker and a pair of Tannoy MX1-M's as surrounds. They all sound beautiful.

Dan C,

How do you like your MX3-M's (I checked your profile)? I'm about to replace my pair of Reveals with a pair of MX4-M's. I think they sound really nice.
