Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR

Fyne speakers are worth a look. I am looking at the 703 & 704s.  

According to Kevin Deal, the US Tannoy distributor, a new factory will be located in England to continue building the Legacy line. Lower priced Tannoy stuff is built in Asia.

The Fyne stuff is interesting but honestly does not look anywhere near as kool as the Tannoy Legacy stuff. It's simply iconic. 

Kevin has said a lot of things that are not correct. Factory in England, never heard of that before, where is it and where have they been making the speakers for the last 14 months? 

Ex employees are saying there is nothing being built in the UK.

There was plans announced they would build a new factory in Scotland but that did not happen. 

"What I know is that there is a commitment to build the Legacy speaker line in Scotland. "

That all went soon after the Music Tribe group takeover, within a year they announced they were closing Coatbridge down but did a very last minute U-turn. They even told the staff they were redundant and were moving production to China.

Music Tribe have not been forthcoming about where these speakers are being produced.

Do you have any links to this factory in England story?

Maybe he is getting confused with some staff moving to Manchester?

Just been informed that the “Designed and manufactured in the UK”  has now been removed from the front panel, of the Legacy range, on recent speakers. 

Is there anyone who has bought speakers recently, can tell us if it still has “Designed and manufactured in the UK” on the front adjustment panel.

Mine are a couple years old at this time and they do have the UK crossover plate.

It's disappointing to hear if they are really moving production. I'm sure they'll reduce the MSRP in kind. /sarcasm.
