Offered is „Kensington“ 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 8021790158 ends on 26.11.2026 at 13:09 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for this category if you’re after a classic Prestige-floorstander and can accommodate the size. At €5,500, this sits above the €3,825 median but still well inside the mainstream used range, below the €6,690 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-ambitious rather than cheap.
That said, it’s a well-regarded speaker for good reason: big, authoritative scale, strong midrange presence, and the kind of easygoing, refined character that makes Tannoy’s dual-concentric designs so popular. In good condition, the upside is straightforward—these hold appeal with enthusiasts, and a clean example can be a long-term keep. The main things to check are cabinet condition, driver health, and whether stands, grilles, or original packaging are included, since that affects both value and resale confidence.
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.
