    Glad you found the problem, yes, shocking workmanship, who ever did this should be ashamed!
    Paul will I am sure sort them out for you, they should then be at least as good as they were when they came from the factory, unless you ask him to do some upgrades while he has them, I know from speaking with Paul that there is at least one modification that he thinks is worthwhile doing on the SE versions, ask him about this when you have agreed to send them.
    Good luck with them.

    Yup they will be with Paul soon as. I cannot trust Tannoy. According to customer services they cannot provide replacement control panels (crossovers), only repair them - does this extend to drivers? I'm truly flummoxed by Tannoy - speakers the price of a house and zero be back up.

    When you bought these a few months ago weren't you concerned about the 2 tweeters being different colours? Did you pay PayPal in the end? I would contact the seller first to see what he says. He might have done the repair/upgrade himself. Is he on ebay, would be interesting to see what else he is selling, does it all look kosher?

    It is surprising. On the other hand if the previous owner had just left them alone I would bet they would have still been working perfectly a hundred years from now.

    Yes I was but I spoke to folks in the know who said this was not that unusual.

    Don't know what you mean about PayPal...

    It's obvious the guy tried upgrading the panels - all is working well now but they are going to Paul end of the month when I can bear to be without them.
