TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?

I failed to realize the erroneous article from 2016 caused this thread.   As you can see from the video that we made just this last March...literally weeks ago..Tannoy is producing.  Though as usual it's not mass-produced.  I took some videos of how it's done and I should use the footage.  I've been to speaker factories and oftentimes the speakers being built are on a conveyor belt, and things move quickly.  

A pair of Stirlings or Cheviots are built in pairs by one man, and it's a slow process of building one, then the other from matched cabinets and drivers.  Then they are taken to the test room where they keep the "Gold Sample" which is a PERFECT example of the speaker being built.  The Gold Sample is measured, then compared to the speakers just assembled.  

It made no sense to me why the Gold Sample would be re-measured every time.  Why not just store the data once and re-use it for every pair built?  The answer is atmospheric changes.  Air pressure can change the measurements.  

That's what I mean.  

I'll crawl back into my hole now.  I leave forums to be forums and it's not a place for industry folk.  Thank you and I'm so glad the people that own Tannoy are so happy.  

Thanks, Kevin! You are always welcome here.

“Damn I got my nose out of joint for an article from 2006 lol I need to pay more attention.”

@jond,  you and me both…lol. Sorry for the confusion. I removed the post to avoid any further confusion. 

Thanks Kevin. You enlightened the discussion.

I purchased a pair of Cheviots a couple months ago from Upscale and have been very happy with the speakers.  The quality is just really top notch and the speakers are a perfect fit for my system and home.  

The salesman I worked with at Upscale was patient with me in answering all of my questions and didn't hesitate to recommend the lower priced Cheviots over some of the more expensive Tannoy models I inquired about based on my musical tastes and other gear in my system.  It was a very positive overall buying experience considering it was all done over the phone with no in-person demos until the speakers were actually delivered to me.
