Tannoy System 800 Speakers
Well I never thought I would ever sell these lovely speakers but I need the cash at the moment for a new project (not hifi related!)
They are in good condition but are not perfect cosmetic wise.... however the drivers are in absolutely perfect condition and they sound fantastic. They have consecutive serial numbers which is unusual for System 800's
I would llike £375 for these superb speakers
As these are quite heavy they are for pick-up only from Portsmouth PO2

Look to be in decent nick Bev. A very good speaker these. One of Tannoy's best efforts in the small stakes. probably their best actually.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I've had several pairs of those. Lovely sounding speakers. Amazing imaging.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Loved my old system 10s, these Tannoy studio monitors definitely have some magic in them. Everyone should try a pair.

Matt I had a pair of the very large System 12/15's (I can't remember exactly which ones they were!) but to be honest I did not get on with them at all.... I find the smaller 800's much better sounding... just my 2p worth though..

I had the more expensive System 1000 and preferred the balance of the 800. The 1000 also had some 'plastic cone colouration', which does not afflict the 800.

I have not heard the 1000's Geoff but certainly the 800's do sound very good indeed..

These are very sensitive speakers at 92dB
I have used them with a valve amplifier of just 10w and that is more than enough to drive them. So they are very easy to drive. Tannoy quote an amplifier upto 180w rms
