Offered is „Tannoy red Monitor mit Lockwood Major Gehäuse“ by Tannoy as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2684331062 ends on 02.11.2026 at 15:20 o'clock.
Versus buying a more ordinary modern speaker at this money, this is a serious vintage-cabinet proposition rather than a spec-sheet purchase. At €6,600, it sits above the €4,463 median but below the €7,908 upper quartile, so it reads as a fair-to-strong asking price for the right buyer, not a bargain-basement find.
The appeal here is the classic Tannoy dual-concentric sound in a Lockwood Major enclosure, which is prized for scale, dynamics, and a big, effortless presentation that modern speakers at this price often chase but rarely equal. If the drivers are original, healthy, and the cabinets are genuinely well preserved, the upside is owning a highly regarded, collectible setup with real room-filling authority; just confirm driver originality, crossover service history, and that the enclosure work is tidy, because those details matter more than cosmetics on a piece like this.
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.
