Ivm vakantie een hoop reacties niet kunnen beantwoorden maar ik ben weer thuis daarom nogmaals te koop! Prachtige set tannoy d500 serie 2 vloerstaande luidsprekers. Deze speakers staan bekend om hun u
These are well-regarded floorstanders, and at €900 the asking price is above the market median but still below the 75th percentile of comparable EUR listings, so it reads as fair-to-ambitious rather than a bargain. Against a recent comparable spread of €116 to €980, this is close enough to the upper end that I’d want the condition and provenance to do some heavy lifting.
What makes them interesting is the usual Tannoy appeal: a lively, coherent presentation with strong midrange presence and the sort of easy musicality that keeps people hunting for them used. If they’re genuinely clean, fully working, and complete, that supports the ask; if not, the price leaves less room for surprises, especially with older floorstanders where driver, crossover, and cabinet condition matter.
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.
