Up for sale my personal pair of immaculate Tannoy Canterbury SEs. Approx 7 years old, great Tannoy sound and I'll be sad to see them go. Few things can match a Tannoy 15ins in full swing. I have all the manuals, pointy, non pointy feet, grills with keys etc. Better pictures to come shortly but y'all know what they look like!
£6.500 . Pick up only from South West LondonAttachment 27222Attachment 27224Attachment 27225
Surprised you're selling these, David. My pair have been with me for nearly ten years now, and I have no intention of ever parting with them.
People often assume they are 'big room' speakers, but I (along with many Japanese audio-nuts) know these particular Tannoys also work superbly in small (tiny!) rooms. Really.
I heard an AOS member's pair of big Tannoys a couple of years ago and they sounded stunning, never heard anything like it Hifi wise, the subsonic bass was astonishing.

Inadequate photos again David. Your advert will be deleted if you don't deal with this. Please familiarise yourself with the rules. Thanks.

Done for David :)
I have seen and heard these :eyebrows:
Me too Al, there very nice. Good luck with the sale David.
Lovely speakers these, i've heard them at David's place, and they sound sublime in that way only a big driver can.
What are you replacing these with ? or are the Troels moving into the house ?

Thanks Al. I can't get the hang of photos on AOS. I either get 'photo size too large' or a Mod telling me off :doh:Quote:

I think the current Canterbury's new are around a mouth watering £31K so these should be snapped up.
Now sold on deposit

Oh, that's a shame they would have probably end your speaker spinning days, but maybe you enjoy that, by the way what happened to the H2's that you had, I seem to remember they may have been mine once?Quote:

My H2's aparently were the last pair made with black piano gloss rear baffles / panels
So, it's farewell to my lovely Tannoys: sale complete. I will miss them. So why did I let them go? I've got an accoustically difficult room and the Tannoys to breathe needed to be a little too far out in the room for aesthetic harmony. Also, I was always slightly peeved that I couldn't use my Cannonballs or Mastersound 845 monoblocs with them. Tannoys demand feedback /higher damping factor for good bass performance which neither monoblocs have.
So I've replaced them with some JBL K2 9800s which work better nearer the rear wall, and are narrower and taller. This reduces their footprint and means the tweeter is at ear height where the Tannoys was too low. Next test is to see if they work with the Mastersounds! The top end is very revealing, a bit like a pair of electrostatics!
Pics please [emoji16]Quote:

Indeed, I was quite tempted by his house too!:lol:
Now sounding awesome with the Mastersound monoblockshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...953e2bdfa1.jpg

Cool,
I look forward to hearing them sometime
Interesting design was expecting big wooden boxes! Are those tweeter and mid range horns or supertweeter and tweeter?
Mid /tweeter and 15khz upwards super tweeter

Ah so compression driver and supertweeter presumably. And nice 15" drivers I hope. Bet they sound lovely [emoji16]
Outstanding speakers. Not many speakers that could replace those Tannoys without it being a downgrade but they are one of them.
