I live in the Boston area and would like the opportunity to listen to a pair of vintage Tannoy Red or Gold speakers.  An audio associate highly recommends them for remarkable tonality and musicality.  If you are in or near Boston within a 60 mile rad...

Hi Romy,  I had a background system for a while using either Kef 103.2 or tannoy gold 15¨ and McIntosh MC2205.  I don't know anything about the other McIntosh gear but this particular amp had a reputation amongst french vintage nuts. My old Threshold...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

I have heard vintage tannoy red (driven by 30w push pull EAR 861) and vintage tannoy gold (driven by 20w set ongaku japan).  I think for 92db the 20w is not good idea.http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=3746#3746T...

Yes, too low efficiency, even worse than Altec 515, (when loaded with small throat, in proper FLH, NOT A7 type "horn" which disqualified it also for my usage...  I don't know how "colored" Tannoy would sound with properly designed...

Hy Paul, I agree with your comment about the tone of the passive radiator if it runs to the mid range. This is the point of the SS8565. the combo of the crazy stiff cone and the special surround works phenomenally well to stay linear. It is even bett...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...
