Alan and I used these Tannoy's Buckingham's to test Magnum and Dreadnought Amplifiers.

Was standing n front of a pair last week they guy bought them for £500.... got to go back for a listen...

I heard the Tannoy Buckinghams many years ago. They were supplied with an acoustic lens for the dual concentric top driver as I recall. Can't say they left a big impression.

Not surprised, given the genius of the Tannoy dual concentric driver is really its abilities as a phase-correct point source ... three dual concentric drivers arranged vertically would surely mess that up comprehensively?

Speaking of Tannoy's are the following pair a good bet at the price quoted? 15 inch Reds. No pictures of drivers though. Cabs look clean.

Looks like a dealer of some kind as there are quite a lot of adverts with 'London, Oxford' mentioned.

Not 3 dc's just one DC atop 2 bass drivers. the lens was to increase horizontal dispersion.

I wouldn't touch those without seeing photos of the drive units and crossovers.

Thanks makes sense.

Oh no, room changes are being planned, they might be going in our home cinema room that's 2.5m x 4.5m, it's our old garage that we knocked through into from the living room to give us that space to convert into the TV/cinema room, TV is being moved into the main living room and I'm getting the the TV/cinema room as a music room, ok because it's open in to the living room I won't be able to play music when TV is being watched, but that's how it is just now anyway so no loss there

I'll be trying it out once my drivers are back from recone before final decision is made.

How long for the re-cone, Mikey?
