Tannoy prestige kensington gr-ow set bij ons door inruil verkregen. Beide speakers verkeren zowel technisch als optisch in nette staat. Compleet met dozen en alle toebehoren. Nieuw bij ons aangekocht
A Kensington GR at €11,000 is not a steal, but it’s still within the realm of a serious used-hifi buy rather than an outlier. Recent market examples cluster from about €5,000 to €17,000, with a clear middle band around the high single-thousands, so €11,000 sits a bit above the midpoint but not in outright premium territory.
What makes it worth considering is the classic Tannoy appeal: a big dual-concentric presentation with scale, coherence, and strong imaging that fans buy these for, plus Prestige-series build quality and finish that still has real presence in a room. If the pair is clean, complete, and preferably from a careful owner with grilles and original packaging, the value is in getting a highly regarded endgame-style speaker without new-list price pain; at this level, though, I’d want proof of condition, matched pair, and any service history before jumping.
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.
