Done!

The refurbished second driver is now installed back in it's cabinet.



I've got the pair up and running right now and they sound sensational, very sweet and smooth, much better than many of the 'pepperpot' types I've had in the past. Not a hint of the stringyness at the top end that seems to afflict some Tannoys, my Devons were awful! These have that beautifully clear, proper 'Big Tannoy' sound, if you know what I mean and not a hint of boom either in my small listening room.

Its nice to own one of the rarest Tannoy models ever made, this 3128 variant of the Cheviot was apparently only in production a few months and very few were sold, the bulk of the 3128 drivers being fitted into the Balmoral, which itself is rare as I believe most were exported.

I've still got some cabinet refinishing to do and the internal wiring does not look too clever, so I'll need to sort that. It will have to wait, I want to enjoy these for a couple of days before I do more work on them.
