Een set tannoy mercury fr d/oak boekenplankluidsprekers in de fraaie dark oak uitvoering. De speakers zijn technisch 100% in orde en spelen zoals ze horen te spelen. Ze zijn altijd zorgvuldig gebruikt
€50 is a strong deal for this Tannoy: it sits well below the €70 25th percentile and far under the €85 median of the recent EUR comps, so it reads as bargain territory rather than just a fair buy.
That low entry price makes it easy to justify on a pair of bookshelf speakers that are generally liked for a smooth, listenable balance and solid all-round musicality. If the drivers are intact, the cabinets are decent, and both speakers play cleanly without level mismatch or obvious rubbing, this is the kind of listing that can be a very satisfying pickup.

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.
