    Tannoy Arden Mk2

    Okay here's my challenge. I have a nice set of Tannoy 3828 drivers with cross-overs in over-sized (but nice) teak cabinets. They sound lovely. However, I don't have much room, and I'd really prefer the smaller (and standard) Arden Mk 2 cabinets. So I located a pair about a 5 hour drive away. Way...

    Tannoy Arden Mk2 drivers in a Mk1 cabinet

    So I have these Tannoy 3828 drivers in a set of huge custom cabinets. They're nice enough, but just way too big for my office. So I've been looking for a while for some Mk2 cabinets to put my drivers into - but I only see Mk 1 cabinets coming available. So, just wondering - has anyone here ever...

    Recapped Tannoy crossover, a bit of static

    I just recapped one of my Tannoy Gold crossovers with Sonicap Gen 1's. Immediately it sounded great, noticeably clearer and better- but I am bothered by a bit of static here and there, especially in musical passages with prominent bass. Is this static a symptom of a not-yet-broken-in cap, or...

    Tannoy Monitor Royal (HPD 315)

    Hi! I just bought a set of two Tannoy Monitor Royal. They're basically HPD 315's marketed for the Canadian market. Very happy! As I explained in another thread, they come in Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) cabinets. Anybody has ever seen/opened these cabs? I need to get the drivers out...

    Wharfedale/Tannoy DYI - Talk me in or out of it!

    Hi guys! I've enjoyed my audio journey thus far, but am certainly in need of a change of speakers. When me and a good friend started the journey, our first real speakers were a set of Klipsch Tangent T200's for myself (I heavily improved the cabs, dampened the horn and upgraded the crossovers)...

    Hi. Been a member since 2009, but haven't been very active. Hope that changes. Just wanted to show what systems I have right now. Quite silly, really; 4 systems in one small house, and 2 in one cramped office. My wife will agree. Anyway, here is what we have: My main audio system: Carver...

    Amp matching the Tannoy Gold 12"

    Hi all, I use Tannoy 12" Golds. I know that they don't require a whole lot of power running into them to sound good. Yet, I have been using some pretty powerful and good sounding amps (albeit at a very normal listening volume) to drive them. The amps I've been using are a Kenwood 700M and now...

    Find of a lifetime! Tannoy Monitor Red 15

    I recently bought a set of clunky old speakers that I thought looked retro cool (I have a disease where I buy speakers when ever I see them or if I tell myself they need saving!).... Once I got the covers off they turned out to be far more than I could ever have imagined them to be! I took home...

    Tannoy monitor black 12"

    I'm posting here to ask for help, information, and some guidance. A few years ago I was given a pair of Tannoy duelcentric speakers by my uncle. They are in great working condition. From my research. I think they are 12" monitor blacks. But my uncle brought them new in the 70s. They are in big...
