In excellent condition, A$2,950 looks fair-to-strong for a used Tannoy 12 floorstander if this is one of the better-known dual-concentric models; new-price context for comparable Tannoy speakers was around A$9,000 a decade ago, with equivalent modern replacements much higher, so this sits in sensible used territory rather than “cheap.”
The appeal is classic Tannoy: big, coherent imaging, easy dynamics, and a presentation that tends to reward good amplification and give a lot of scale for the money. If the drivers are original, cabinets are clean, and any grilles/badges are included, this is the kind of listing that can be a solid buy for someone wanting a substantial floorstander without paying retail-level money.
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.
