Offered is „STIRLING LZ III 3 Special Edition SE - Standlautsprecher HIGH END - HIFI !!!“ by Tannoy as new device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9695460547 ends on 28.11.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
€7,900 is well above the typical used market here, and I’d call it ambitious rather than fair value against a €505 median and €2,772 75th percentile.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad piece: these Tannoys are respected for that big, effortless, very “live” presentation, with strong tonal richness and scale that suits serious two-channel rooms. If the condition is genuinely excellent, fully original, and complete with grills, badges, and any factory stands or paperwork, the appeal is obvious—but at this price I’d want exceptional provenance, since the upside is more about collector-grade presentation than straightforward value.
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.
