Good idea @Lx4man Which amp/Tannoy combination is it going to be for you today?

Today its a basic one , California labs cl-15  feeding some jazz into the as1000...(sorry no tubes today as no space in my room left) traveling through some mogami cables to some tannoy...........

[LX_4_MAN]

..... Edinburghs 

[LX_4_MAN]

Ok so halfway mark swapped over to the stirlings ! Smaller size but not a much smaller sound, slightly more sparkle in the treble too , listening to the avalanches , since i left you album

@jgunner what about these as stands and cut the legs to the height that you want

[jgunner]

@Fenda where can I get those mate?

@Fenda geez if that’s actual solid mahagony timber it is sure worth the asking price. Cheers mate this is what I’m looking for

[Fenda]

@jgunner I just noticed that they come in a pecan colour as well

[LX_4_MAN]

Heres a bit more tannoy spam , pulled the 15" glenair's out for the first time in almost 2 years of being dormant for a listen ! These were made in 2014 and have less then 20 hours on them so their still running in

[Willmax]

I reckon they'd sound better if you'd hooked them up to one of your valve amps... just saying

[LX_4_MAN]

Maybe tomorrow  ill take that advice , my lack of powerbards in this house makes it hard to run the monoblocks  

[Willmax]

Yes please do and post some pics here if you can. 

If you have trouble finding a power board, I can send you one in exchange for a pair of speakers, looks like they are obstructing the beautiful view from your living room  

[LX_4_MAN]

Thats a very kind offer , i think this tannoy little gold monitor should work in with your fridge very well Have you noticed the views getting more and more beautiful each day while the better half is overseas ?

A-ha that explains how you can get away with so much 

I did notice more and more speakers popping up, so travel bans and lock down does have its perks +

Enjoy while you can, let's hope she is not reading this forum

1 step closer each day the mrs is away 

[Willmax]

I would love to try one of those one day. With all due respect I bet they trump the Yamaha SS amp.

I still haven't go around to hooking them up yet... maybe next weekend ....building anticipation here , i imagine though the 28w will be plenty for the 95db glenair's 

[Willmax]

Shout out to all Tannoy owners hiding under their blankets, so bloody cold in SA atm 

 

[LX_4_MAN]

Freezing here in vic too ! Lounge is the coldest part of the house but that's not stopping the late night listening! Tannoys work best in the dark

[LX_4_MAN]

Has not been allot of action here lately so I'll post the first pic to bring this thread back out of isolation 

[pjohn]

I was eyeing off the Tannoy Precision 6.2 a few years back.

Never got to listen to them though . Does anyone have any experience with them ? 

They were a great looking speaker that still intrigue me.

thanks

I’m in process of having my fathers old Tannoy Monitor Golds 12 restored. 
 

I was interested in finding out their age. There are some serial numbers stamped into the side.

064182

[LX_4_MAN]

I have a data sheet for this I'll post up
