The Chevening is a pretty rare model. Only in production for a short while. They do sound nice.Originally Posted by jamie123
I'm surprised there's a pair still functioning. They were very prone to the foam cone surrounds rotting away.
The Eaton model that replaced it is a better speaker though. That used the HPD 295A.

They are good pics. Obviously taken by somebody who knows photography.
The Tannoys are not the most popular series. They are first generation 'plastic cone' Tannoys and not taken seriously by many. They are actually pretty decent, just tonally different. In my collection, I have the smaller, ABR-less Ascots from the same range and they sound good enough. They're just awaiting some mods!

HUGELY OVERPRICED THORENS
Imagine what he would be asking if it had the tracking weight, lid, and finger lift!
The flight out to Memphis to check on his provenance is going to cost a few quid 'n all.

Nothing wrong with your room, Dan. It actually reminds me of Walrus Systems!
