This is an older Prestige-series design, so timing matters mainly if you want that classic Tannoy dual-concentric presentation and are buying into the last, well-liked generation rather than chasing modern features. At S$7,800, it sits well above the S$3,548 75th percentile and far above the S$1,238 median, so this is ambitious pricing rather than a bargain.
What keeps it interesting is that Turnberrys are loved for scale, coherence, and a big, effortless midband that flatters vocals and acoustic music. In like-new condition, the appeal is real if the finish is right, the drivers are original, and the pair includes grilles, jumpers, and any box or paperwork. At this level, a buyer should want exceptional cosmetics and proof the speakers have been kept properly; otherwise, there are enough used examples around that the premium needs a very good reason.
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.
