Te koop aangeboden: een set tannoy mercury mx3 vloerstaande luidsprekers in de kleur light maple. Deze speakers leveren een uitstekende geluidskwaliteit en zijn een mooie aanvulling op elke audio-opst
Since the listing notes “unknown” condition, the €100 asking price sits above the 75th percentile (€94) of recent EUR comparables and is clearly ambitious compared to the median of €86. That’s not a bargain; it’s a fair-to-high price only if the speakers are genuinely clean, original, and fully functional.
The Tannoy Mercury (likely the V1 or M-series) is well-regarded for its warm, balanced sound, 86dB sensitivity, and solid 8Ω build that pairs easily with most amps. If these are from an original owner with no grills damage, intact rubber feet, and no woofer rub, the upside is real: they’re rare in good used shape and still deliver modern bookshelf performance for under €100 in EUR. But with unknown condition, inspect for driver wear, foam surround rot, and cabinet dents before paying above median.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tannoy traces its origins to 1926 in London, where Yorkshire-born engineer Guy R. Fountain established the Tulsemere Manufacturing Company in a modest garage. Initially focused on battery chargers and rectifiers for early radio sets, the brand name Tannoy emerged in 1928 as a contraction of "tantalum alloy," the key materials in its innovative electrolytic rectifiers. This British pioneer quickly pivoted to loudspeakers, cementing a heritage of audio innovation that spans nearly a century, including a relocation to Coatbridge, Scotland, in the 1970s.
The company specializes in loudspeakers, renowned for its revolutionary Dual Concentric driver introduced in 1947 at the London Radio Show, which transformed studio monitoring and home audio. Tannoy's portfolio centers on high-quality speakers—ranging from bookshelf and floorstanding models to the iconic Prestige series—alongside public address systems. While historically versatile in professional sound, its modern emphasis remains on hi-fi stereo and home cinema speakers, leveraging decades of driver technology expertise rather than diversifying into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Tannoy holds a revered position as one of the world's oldest loudspeaker manufacturers, blending high-end prestige with vintage appeal for discerning collectors and audiophiles. Its studio-grade monitors and meticulously crafted cabinets, often produced by specialists like Poland's Diora, earn consistent praise from hi-fi critics for exceptional clarity and dynamics. Now under the Music Tribe group, Tannoy endures as a benchmark for authentic British sound reproduction, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless performance over fleeting trends.
