WTD: Tannoy Cheviots

[nickbaba]

Hello - does anyone out there have a pair of Tannoy Cheviots in good condition they'd consider selling?

I'm a recent convert to vintage Tannoys, now looking for smaller 12"s for a second home system.

Please PM or post if you can help.

Cheers

Nick

Ha Ha. There's no cure and no going back once the bug bites Nick. :)

Don't rule out the similar sized and much prettier Chatsworths either. I had a pair with early corrugated surround 12" Monitor Golds that sounded beautiful. You sacrifice a little bass extension, but it's no big deal. Later examples had rubber roll surrounds and deeper bass and are good, after that they used foam surrounds that eventually fall apart. The last version had the 12" HPDs in (and the rare first model had Monitor Reds).

Good luck finding something!

What about these on here? http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?43789-Tannoy-12-quot-Monitor-Golds-rubber-surrounds-custom-cabs

Not far from you. The drivers look superb and they have the desirable rubber surrounds. No upgrades needed here by the look of things.

I have a pair that were sent to Lockwoods for re coning and new surrounds , and alignment of the voice coils , The cabinets are original so do show their age , Also original crossovers ( not rebuilt )
£800 , I can show / audition them for you if you are interested :)
