Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR

Just been corresponding with a guy who works in Coatbridge area, he is sitting next someone to at work, who worked at Tannoy, it closed last year. He drives passed the factory everyday. All the key workers now work at Fyne which is close by. 

I bought mine in October 2021. They were made in 2019 in the UK.

I believe current stock at Upscale is all from that shipment.

Nothing lasts forever. If you want made in UK, buy Tannoy asap.

Would be curious to know where Legacy products are going to be made. 

You might try asking on 'The Art of Sound' forum. Some Tannoy savvy guys there could probably assist.

I’m on my 2nd set of Tannoys from Upsacale audio. Currently Turnberry GR. It’s true: they take a good long time to break-in. I was not exactly thrilled with their sound out of the box. After about 6 months, they “came alive” and now, I love em’. They’re in a 15x19’ room, 8’ ceiling. The bass is good, but might have to do with them being powered by a SET amplifier. DEBRA sub array helps the bass, but the room has issues as well. The soundstage and imaging is fantastic. I spent a long time with speaker setup. Finally, I arrived at the same conclusion as above: apart with a good amount of toe-in is the ticket. 

I like Upscale. Cool people. They won’t steer you wrong. 

Tannoy or Music Tribe won't disclose where Tannoys have been made for the last 15 months, one user on the forum was just directed to Tannoy history, which tells you nothing since 2017. Many suspect production moved to China. Interesting that that dealers in the US have such old stock.
