    Not in this case. They are legitimate manufacturers and supply lots of Tannoy related stuff. They have a shop but also use eBay as a selling platform.

    Yes, you can get your crossovers made but for many it can be a big expense. I'd put these crossovers down as intermediary units. If you like the sound from your Tannoys, that's when it's time to get passionate.

    As I said,... I've tried the crossovers from Mainly Tannoy and they're fine. Not as good as my Tannoyista ones but still good enough.

    And if you're upgrading from the originals, they're a sensible buy. It's better than hearing something that's totally out of kilter to base things on.

    I've been round and round the block with crossovers for many years and they're fine. Better than some builds I can tell you. They're a safe bet for most.
