It does not surprise me that your current setup is "missing" so much. I am positive that if you get 100 pieces of exactly your model of Tannoy, they will ALL sound different.I do not have a test for this, but feel that point source in this context ha...

Of course, it's the top end of the woofers/subs that has to blend in with the bottom end of the Dannoys, and you can get gain at X/O frequency from the subs, if it sounds OK to do it. I guess that means coming up with an "average" of the sum and diff...

I live in the Boston area and would like the opportunity to listen to a pair of vintage Tannoy Red or Gold speakers. An audio associate highly recommends them for remarkable tonality and musicality. If you are in or near Boston within a 60 mile rad...

I am just reminded of the long-since-superceded (naturally...) 10" Tannoy "mid-field" "pro" monitor. I think it was the TM10, which also used it's cabinet to very good effect, at least in terms of voicing. You want "bubbles", I...

Sometimes I am surprised that Positive Feedback does publish interesting articles and or course sometime not. It is in contrary to other online publications the never publish interesting articles.

Hi Cat,The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. This kind of crosses over into some driver discussions so bear with me...My Tannoy 10" ...

Yes, too low efficiency, even worse than Altec 515, (when loaded with small throat, in proper FLH, NOT A7 type "horn" which disqualified it also for my usage... I don't know how "colored" Tannoy would sound with properly designed...

My preferred type of speaker is a full range ribbon, though I've always had a monkey/Tannoy on my back which is surprising as I don't really care for box speakers. I've heard many over the years but I was never really that impressed but wan...

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

Hy Paul, I agree with your comment about the tone of the passive radiator if it runs to the mid range. This is the point of the SS8565. the combo of the crazy stiff cone and the special surround works phenomenally well to stay linear. It is even bett...

Howdy all,I have been playing with the Dunnoy concept since Romy discovered it and I agree that it is a very good improvement for Tannoy bass.Dunnoy with reverb injection is a phenomenal experience. I have gold drivers not red but I tried both 10s an...

Jeff Day of Positive Feedback published his review about new Tannoy Kingdom Royal, reportedly a flagmen model.

In my view it is not a review but rather infomercial but I g...

I have heard vintage tannoy red (driven by 30w push pull EAR 861) and vintage tannoy gold (driven by 20w set ongaku japan). I think for 92db the 20w is not good idea.http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=3746#3746T...

Well you are very welcome to the Tannoy discussion group. Romy plugged his site at our Tannoy group, so he cannot oppose me plugging our site.http://www.hilberink.nl/speaker.htmand:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tannoy/Thanks in advance,kindest r...

Have been playing with the Dannoy’s for four weeks now and they have significantly improved. Using my Trinnov pre-pro to see and adjust the parameters, i can answer Rom'y points.1. Frequency response: combined with a JL f113 subwoofer crossed over at...

I have heard several Tannoy speakers in the past, but have never heard the quality of sound Romy has obtained with his brain child. I don't know whether it is the speakers alone or his setup which has allowed his system to enthrall so much more than ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Not kidding?! :-)Yes, I always felt that Tannoy the vintage 10" sealed box were the best Tannoy out there. Still they were the best not because they were best but because the 10” had less bass extension and did not go into ...

Well, the Vitavox is also a "paper driver" that has needs like the Tannoy (unless it is the "horn version"...), meaning the size and nature of the enclosure will affect the Vitavox sound, as well. I always thought the Altec 515 Bs were OK up to 500 H...

I do not understand from what you said the sorts of problems you are dealing with. What are you using as high and low-pass X/Os. Where and how you cross the drivers can make huge differences in the sound. Also, how did you throttle back Macando to ma...

I did not see if this have been covered by Romy so I have to ask.Have you tried a larger Tannoy driver, like a 12" or 15" of the same era like your 10"? Maybe the bigger tannoy will play better for you?...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...
