Tannoy ST-200 Super Tweeters Tannoy ST-200 Super Tweeters. Excellent condition (colour difference in the photos due to light reflection and natural timber variance). Same serial number on both speakers. I bought these to use with my Tannoy Canterbury GR but they are not getting much use as I can't really hear a difference (may have lost high frequency hearing). They are amongst the last ones to be made in England and have been purchased new from Class A Audio. All packaging is available and can be shipped Australia wide for $30. International shipping also available. At my asking price I
Is AUD2,500 a steal for used Tannoy ST-200 super tweeters, or are you overpaying? I'd call it ambitious—comparable pairs in good used condition typically trade hands for AUD1,200-AUD1,800 on the global secondhand market, based on recent sales of similar Prestige models with stands and cases. Back in 2016 they retailed around AUD2,800 new (converted from NOK), but age and wear push values down unless pristine with provenance.
Before biting, verify the titanium domes aren't fatigued or dented, as high-frequency drivers fail from overdriving or dust ingress—insist on a listen above 10kHz with cymbals or hi-hats. Confirm original stands, grilles, and serial-matched pairing are included, plus crossover settings match your mains to avoid phase issues.
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.
