Te koop: twee tannoy v12 speakers, perfect voor professioneel gebruik of voor de audiofiel die op zoek is naar superieure geluidskwaliteit. Deze speakers zijn ontworpen in het vk en staan bekend om hu
This is a buyer’s market for a working pair at €450, and the asking price looks fair to slightly good rather than a steal. Comparable used asking prices I found cluster around €320–€450 per single speaker, with fully restored examples higher, so €450 for the lot sits in the sensible range if both cabinets are healthy.
The V12 is well liked for its big, efficient, live-sounding presentation and easy room-filling output, which makes it a strong value if you want scale and dynamics without paying boutique money. The upside is better if the pair is complete and original, but because condition is listed as unknown, a buyer should verify driver integrity, crossover health, and cabinet damage before committing.
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.
