Tannoy?

Check this link and contact the regional rep. I know there are several dealers in the Chicago area, so I have no trouble finding them. A store that specializes in British audio products (NAD, NAIM, Linn, etc.) is likely also to carry Tannoy.

I happen to like the Tannoy Mx4 a lot (have a new pair I might be willing to part with!).

Don't know why, but Tannoy's ( for many years ) have been very popular in Canada. In my opinion, I wouldn't even look at anything less than 25 years old. The Golds, Silvers and Royals, and even HPD 385's were all fabulous duo-concentric drivers and could all be driven by low powered SET's - too bad they've all been out of production for years. (by the way Tannoy, is a short term for Tantalum alloy, for those that didn't know.)

The late great Dr Gizmo aka Harvey Rosenberg, used a set of Tannoy Westminster Gold and loved them with his SET amps.

Of course the name was synonymous with pa loudspeakers in England. When I ventured into my first hifi store 30 odd years ago, as opposed to the cal stereo, university stereo and pacific stereo chains, I was shown a pair of hifi speakers, said to be accurate from 50hz to 15khz, and told that 20-20k was just marketing hype and irrelevant.

I couldnt afford one at the time, but ever since, I have associated the name with real hifi.

Is it the same company, and are their current products good?

Tannoy is a popular brand in the pro audio area. Their products are very well respected.
