About the brand
Tannoy is an iconic British brand founded in London in 1926 that represents excellence in high-quality hi-fi audio. With nearly a century of experience, the company, which opened a factory in Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1976 and is now part of the Music Tribe group, positions itself in the premium segment of the international audiophile market, winning over generations of hi-fi enthusiasts with its reference-level stereo solutions.
Tannoy's history begins with Guy Fountain, who founded the company in a garage in London's Dulwich district under the name Tulsemere Manufacturing Company; the name Tannoy derives from "tantalum alloy", the alloy of the rectifiers produced in the early days. In 1947, the company introduced the Dual Concentric, the coaxial speaker that still remains the heart of the brand's philosophy today. missionand the company's philosophy is based on the pursuit of the most faithful sound reproduction possible, combining British manufacturing tradition and continuous technical evolution, a reputation built both among audiophiles and in the professional world.
The system Dual Concentric is the hallmark of Tannoy technology: the tweeter is placed in the center of the woofer, in its throat, so that high and low frequencies originate from the same point, benefiting the coherence of the soundstage. In many models of the Prestige and Legacy series, the tweeter has a dome made of aluminum and magnesium alloy and is loaded by the Tulip WaveGuide, which optimizes the dispersion of high frequencies. In the larger Prestige Gold Reference models, such as the Westminster Royal GR, the Dual Concentric uses Alnico magnets. Tannoy also offers SuperTweeters, separate units that can be placed next to the speakers to extend the high-frequency response.
The Tannoy product range encompasses both home and professional listening. Floorstanding speakers are the flagship product, alongside bookshelf speakers for more compact setups. The company also produces studio monitors for professional applications.
The product series is divided into several lines. The Prestige series, with the Gold Reference models, is the pinnacle of domestic production: hand-built speakers with wooden cabinets and Dual Concentric up to 15 inches, at the top of which is the Westminster Royal GR. The Legacy series re-proposes three historic models from the Seventies, Eaton, Cheviot and Arden, with Dual Concentric 10, 12 and 15 inches respectively. The Revolution line offers technology Dual Concentric in a more accessible range, in floor and bookshelf configurations.
The international specialist press has repeatedly praised the qualities of Tannoy speakers, underlining their natural timbre and the coherence of the soundstage.
Tannoy's audiophile target audience includes hi-fi enthusiasts seeking premium solutions for their stereo systems, from the advanced enthusiast to the most discerning collector. To complete a Tannoy stereo system, pairings with tube integrated amplifiers enhance the natural musicality of British transducers, while dedicated power amplifiers allow for reference-level pre-amp and power amplifier configurations; CD/SACD players and turntables enhance the warm, engaging character of Tannoy reproduction.
