FS: Tannoy Glenair 15"

[fordy]

For sale are my big Tannoys. I know this is going to be one of those eternal hifi regrets but I'm losing half of my listening room imminently and these are just not going to work firing across the width of the room. Anyway, these are a superb sounding loudspeaker giving a very big effortless soundstage with big dynamics. I've had the best sounds I've ever heard at home with these. Easy to drive from moderately powered valve amps and I had great results with a WAD 6550 but most of the time I've used a big classic Japanese 200W/ch integrated which they seemed to appreciate even more.

I originally bought these when I lived in Tokyo and they followed me to Shanghai and finally back to the UK. Consequently they have suffered a lot of knocks and dings on their last intercontinental trip. These are visually tidy from the listening position with the acres of lovely cherry veneer but up close and personal there are many scratches, and dings and some veneer peeling/fretting damage on the very bottoms of the plinths. It's a real shame but these would benefit from a visit to a cabinet maker or french polisher for correction. I do have some repair waxes and veneer but I never got around to learning the necessary skills to make a job of it unfortunately. What it does mean is that these represent somewhat of an opportunity to get hold of some 15" Tannoys at a bargain price. They have the instructions and the full set of Tannoy spikes and floor savers but no packaging. They will require collection from near Chester, UK in a big estate car or van and you'll be wanting to visually inspect and hear them before you commit anyway. I'm looking for only £2100 for these.

These are something really special, GLWS

[fordy]

They are special indeed :-)

My listening room has gone now and although I’ve temporarily managed to negotiate these into the living room, their time is strictly limited. Shame as they sound sublime in this space. God knows what I’m going to replace them with.

[Andy831]

If I did not already own 15" Tannoys I would buy these.

[rigger67]

What are the little doodahs on top of them ??

[fordy]

They were Tannoy ST200 supertweeters that have already sold

[Markiii]

I've always thought Tannoys looked very of their time, but those would pass muster against anything made today

[Firebottle]

..... I’ve temporarily managed to negotiate these into the living room,

Change the temporary or SWMBO.....Sorry that's not helping the sale.

[Macca]

Crazy bargain, speakers like this won't be getting any cheaper, buy them whilst you can still afford them.

[fordy]

Sounding mighty fine tonight...

I reckon that's a bargain Carl.. I believe they are £5k new so less than half price...

There is another pair for sale at a lot more money...

If I still owned my SET amps I would be taking a long trip for these...

Theses really should have been snapped up by now, and a bargain price.

these could be in your listening room by Sunday and you'd be all set for the hifi season :-)

I dont suppose you would consider some Cheviots- they are fractionally smaller!

[fordy]

I dont suppose you would consider some Cheviots- they are fractionally smaller! Preamp and phono stage for you next though ;-)

[guero]

Preamp and phono stage for you next though ;-)

Very true! Wonderful pair of speakers.

[fordy]

Still here

[fordy]

By the way folks, I can show you a live and*detailed inspection of them by Skype, messenger or facetime.

[vintagesteve]

Lovely looking speakers, and from what I can see, an amazing price too. I personally would have no problem with the cosmetic issues that you mention, certainly the 'overall' look of them is nothing short of stunning. Best of luck with the sale.

[fordy]

Now Sold to a music loving couple :-)
