Tannoy 15" drivers - 2 pairs for sale, Sheffield UK

[chris661]

As promised in the Intro thread, here's my thread about some Tannoys. I acquired these quite cheaply, but, alas, they must go. I'm a student, so the money would be much more useful than even more equipment.

Notes - all the speakers have some black paint on the front of the frames. This doesn't affect performance.

First up, some HPD385s, including crossovers and plates. One of the plates has been painted black, and the switches could use some contact cleaner as they're a bit crackly. One of the cones has a couple of small imperfections. These do not go all the way through the cone, and I can't hear any difference in performance. See pics for what you're getting.

There's a crack on the cover of this one, but this doesn't affect performance.

Next up, some DU386s. One of the low-frequency coils is open-circuit, and both appear to be non-standard cones. As such, they'll need reconing. Lockwood have quoted me £350 to recone the pair. The tweeters work fine on both. The dead coil is on the one with no back cover.
Crossovers included, appear to have three switches on the crossovers.

You need to show prices Chris.

[chris661]

Ah yes, of course. Thanks for catching that, it'd completely slipped my mind...

I'd be looking for around £900 for the HPDs, and £550 for the DUs.

These seem fair to me - there are some HPDs in nicer condition going for close-on to £1000 on eBay, so knock £100 off for condition.
The DU386s need around £350 of work done on them, but can sell for "over £1000" when working.

I'd consider offers via e-mail or post here.

Edit - all 4 drivers are in ~60L ported cabinets, which can be included at no extra cost.

Postage would be possible, but I'd rather they were picked up in person so they can be demo'd working.

FWIW That Du driver isn't as used in the M3000 classic monitor(Tanoplas foam), rather its a recone/lower powered kit version as of the one in M1000 Super Red(fabric roll).http://tannoyaudio.narod.ru/photoalbum.html
Good luck with your sale.
One question, genuine unmolested crossovers?

[chris661]

I don't know about the crossovers, but will pull them out of the cabinets and take more pictures at the next opportunity.

Chris

[chris661]

Bump.

Most offers considered, guys.

Demo's welcome.
