For Sale: Tannoy Cheviots
I have a pair of Cheviots which have been refurbished by Paul Coupe at Reference Fidelity Components.
To my knowledge, the speakers have been in Paul’s workshop twice; one during their former life (cabinet refurb & polishing, I believe, not sure about anything else) and once in my ownership (crossover rebuild/service, etc). I have full details of the work undertaken on my behalf.
Although I thought they'd be my “forever” speakers - and certainly, performance wise, I could want for nothing more - aesthetically, my wife has expressed a (gentle) preference for something a bit more modern looking. Because of this - and I have to agree that work we are doing on the house lends itself to something more in keeping with the room - I thought I’d explore the option of selling at a time when there is absolutely no pressure on me to do so.
Aesthetically, I would describe one cabinet as very good to excellent and the other as good/very good. At some point in the past, the ‘2nd’ speaker has clearly had something resting on it. Probably a very long time ago. Despite the work already carried out on the cabinets (mentioned above), some marks are still apparent. They don’t bother me in the slightest. I purchased the speakers after a full inspection and in the full knowledge they were there. I suppose had I been so inclined, I could have investigated the option for a re-veneer, but quite honestly I couldn’t, and still can’t, see the need.
I don’t intend waxing lyrical about SQ other than to say they are the best speakers I’ve ever heard and there was pretty much nothing left untouched when the crossovers were refurbished last year.
I am asking £1975 and they are collection only (between Stroud/Gloucester/Cheltenham).
Happy to answer questions.
