In prima staat. Supersound.!! Inclusief spikes.
Against the obvious alternative at this price—most generic used floorstanders in the €150–€250 bracket—the Tannoy looks like a strong buy. A current used reference pegs the model around €175, with active listings and recent asks commonly sitting closer to roughly €200–€250, so €175 lands at the low end and reads as a fair-to-good deal rather than ambitious.
What makes it worth a look is the classic Tannoy presentation: easy, cohesive mids, solid imaging, and enough scale to feel “proper” in a room without needing extravagant amplification. If the pair is complete and working cleanly, the upside is simple: a respected British floorstander at sensible money. Just confirm driver health, grilles, and any original spikes/feet, since those matter more than cosmetics on older speakers.

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.
