Tannoy Chatsworth - 12” HPD/315/8 drivers with stands

[julesd68]

Here are my Tannoy Chatsworth speakers for sale with 12” HPD/315/8 drivers.

Original factory stickers for June 1975 with close serial numbers. The front Tannoy badges are present and correct; both grilles are in super condition as you can see.

The cabinets are in good original condition for their 44 years with a deep patina, grain and shine - no restoration work has been done. Some old marks and chips to the wood, mainly on the front bottom edges as per photos; if you want perfect ‘as new’ cabs then you have the option to refurbish or replace. Crossovers are original.

Also included are a pair of beautiful oak spiked stands which I had custom made this year - these get the centre of the driver around ear height and with the sand loading they tighten up the bass appreciably. The sand is loaded in stockings (good tip this!), so it can be easily removed if need be.

I have absolutely loved my time with these Tannoys listening to vinyl with tube amps, but now I’m heading in a digital direction and time for someone else to enjoy them.

£1500 payable in cash / bank transfer / PayPal gift.

Collection only from Highgate, London N6 or possibly from Manchester.

If ‘going in a digital direction’ why sell them? I still have mine from 1975 although extensively modified with Tannoys guidance.

Mmmm, very nice original pair of Tannoys you have there.

That would really be a new thread to go into all that, suffice to say that my new speakers suit my listening room better.

Still available!

These gorgeous Tannoys are still here ... :)

Now available again.

These are pretty rare classic Tannoys. Only the last short run of Chatsworths had the HPD unit that superseded the Monitor Gold. A rather desirable predecessor to the much more common Cheviot.

[julesd68]

Thanks Geoff!

Can also possibly deliver within M25, surrounding London area. :)

[julesd68]

Lots of Tannoy loveliness still available. :)

[JohnJo]

Lovely Jules. I think classic Tannoys are an absolute steal compared to what you’d get new for this price.

[julesd68]

Thanks John. :)

Certainly very good value especially with the custom made stands - these really helped tightening up the bass as well as getting them at the correct height ...

[julesd68]

Sold STP.
