    Default Hi from London

    Hi all - Im a sound engineer reviving a pair of tannoy cheviot speakers - I do have a pair of focal twins that i use for most work but the tannoys are a great addition and more of a pleasure for listening. I have a Cyrus2 amp that came with the Cheviots and also an elektrik crimson amp that is in need of repair.

    Speakers for me used to be something id spend good time positioning/test and before that stacking for PAs but stripping down is a first.

    Forgot to mention the music - much jazz and wilder end of rock music - oh and good songs

    thanks

    Welcome to AoS Mick. A lot of Tannoy lovers and rebuilders here as you probably know. Hope you get them and the amp fixed up

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hi Mick

    Please do open up a new thread on your Cheviot and Crimson revival projects. You will get a huge amount of interest. Not seen a Crimson amp around for ages!

    Which end of London are you? Always happy to help although I've not restored a pair of Tannoys before.

    Hello Mick. Welcome to AOS.

    Tannoy speakers have a big following here and the Cheviots are a favourite with many.

    Feel free to join in any chat that interests you.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
