Baby comingFurther Information
Here is a pair of Tannoy Arden MK1's. These speakers need no introduction, however it is worth noting that I often hear/read that the Mk1's in particular are a desirable model, having the alnico HPD 15" 385A drivers.
The drivers were serviced prior to my purchasing them in April 2023 including frequency sweep, spiders and voice coils all tested and checked and free air resources done. Crossovers are original condition as far as I know. I would be surprised if I've put more than 30 hours on them since purchasing.
The enclosures present beautifully as can be seen from the photographs. There are few minor blemishes, however, I'd say this is bare minimum. They have clearly always been treated wonderfully and they are in great shape. They could certainly be left as-is, though with an oil to the veneer and minor black touch-up on a little back edging these would present more or less as new.
As the cliché' goes, this is a regretful sale and one I've been avoiding as long as possible. Within a VERY short time of purchasing I was offered a pair of my 'white whale' speakers, IMF RSPM MK4. The Ardens were moved from my larger listening space to a small room that I use for mixing and mastering music and I used them once in a blue moon for a reference listen.
With a baby on the way and obstetrician fees pending I reluctantly offer these for sale.
The incredible thing is that these speakers retain their presence, bass response, imaging etc. even in tight rooms, not to mention the glory of them in a decent sized space. Unlike my IMF's these are driven beautifully by low watt as well as higher watt amps. Deep subs, incredible mids, excellent highs and wide and deep soundstage and precision imaging.
These UK built Ardens were originally imported by TEAC to Japan and the owner previous to me bought them from Japan and had them shipped to Australia. I have the large foam boxes that they were imported from Japan in-(open on one end though).
Local pick up preferred or can discuss options for local delivery. I'm not to confident with freight for such large speakers as I've never shipped anything this big before but if buyer wishes to have them freighted we can discuss it further.
Audition only possible for serious buyers.
