About the brand

Tannoy is an iconic British brand founded in 1926 that represents excellence in high-quality hi-fi audio. With nearly a century of experience, the Coatbridge, Scotland-based company occupies the premium segment of the international audiophile market, winning over generations of hi-fi enthusiasts with its innovative solutions for reference-level stereo systems.
Tannoy's history begins with Guy Fountain, who developed the first coaxial loudspeaker in history in 1947, revolutionizing the world of audio forever. This pioneering innovation, called Dual Concentric, still remains the beating heart of British corporate philosophy today. missionThe company's philosophy is based on the pursuit of the most faithful sound reproduction possible, combining traditional Scottish craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Over the decades, Tannoy has supplied audio systems to the world's most prestigious recording studios, from the Beatles to Pink Floyd, cementing its reputation as the absolute reference for professionals and discerning audiophiles.
Tannoy's distinctive technologies are the result of proprietary innovations developed internally. The system Dual Concentric is the defining element: a titanium tweeter positioned at the center of the woofer cone, ensuring a perfect point source and uniform dispersion across all planes. Alnico technology, used in the magnets, offers superior magnetic performance compared to traditional ferrite, improving the dynamics and control of the transducers. The Tulip Waveguide design further optimizes high-frequency dispersion, while the SuperTweeter crossovers ensure exceptional frequency extension up to 54 kHz.
The Tannoy product range encompasses various categories of professional and home audio electronics. Floorstanding speakers are the flagship product, alongside bookshelf speakers for more compact setups. The company also produces studio monitor speakers for professional applications, active systems with integrated amplification, and dedicated accessories such as specialized stands.
The product series is divided into different lines characterized by distinctive technical specifications. The Legacy series represents the technological pinnacle with drivers Dual 15", 12" and 10" Concentric, Alnico magnets and solid wood cabinets. The Revolution line offers accessible audiophile performance with technology Dual Concentric, available in floorstanding and bookshelf configurations. The Prestige series reinterprets historic classics with modern materials, while the Studio range includes active monitors for professional applications with built-in Class-D amplifiers.
International awards confirm Tannoy's excellence in the hi-fi sector. What Hi-Fi magazine has honored several models with the prestigious Award, while Stereophile has included numerous speakers in its Recommended Components list. The Italian trade press, from Suono to Audio Review, has consistently praised the sonic qualities of the British products, highlighting their natural tonal quality and exceptional three-dimensional imaging.
Tannoy's audiophile target audience includes high-fidelity enthusiasts seeking premium solutions for their stereo systems. The price range extends from €1.500 for entry-level models to over €20.000 for the reference-level Legacy Gold series systems, appealing to both the advanced enthusiast and the most discerning collector.
Italian distribution guarantees national coverage through a select network of retailers specializing in quality audio electronics. Authorized technical assistance ensures qualified after-sales support, while the availability of original spare parts guarantees the longevity of audiophile investments. To complete a Tannoy stereo system, experts recommend pairing it with tube integrated amplifiers to enhance the natural musicality of British transducers, or with dedicated power amplifiers for reference pre-amp/power amplifier configurations. Digital sources such as CD/SACD/DVD players are a perfect match for the precision of the speakers, while analog turntables enhance the warm and engaging character of Tannoy reproduction.
