As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

I live in the Boston area and would like the opportunity to listen to a pair of vintage Tannoy Red or Gold speakers. An audio associate highly recommends them for remarkable tonality and musicality. If you are in or near Boston within a 60 mile rad...

I have heard vintage tannoy red (driven by 30w push pull EAR 861) and vintage tannoy gold (driven by 20w set ongaku japan). I think for 92db the 20w is not good idea.http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=3746#3746T...

Yes, too low efficiency, even worse than Altec 515, (when loaded with small throat, in proper FLH, NOT A7 type "horn" which disqualified it also for my usage... I don't know how "colored" Tannoy would sound with properly designed...

[quote user="Bill"]You had that glorious sound with the 40 year old caps in the B2's and the Tannoy crossovers. Do you really want to move away from what they produced in your system. A good way of testing new vs. old caps would be to replace the tan...

I was thinking about it in past. I do not particularly believe too much in point source. We have no vertical resolution by our hearing and if drivers located strictly in a vertical line then in longitude domain they are single point source. Of course...

Anthony, it is not the subject of this thread but I am replying you since you raised a question. Is there are a lot of conspiracies about Tannoy vintage crossovers. They did many different versions and all of them well known. If somebody need I can h...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...

IF the Remedios cabinets have more volume than the Dunnoy, you just put bricks inside Remedios until you have the same volume. I assume that EVERY Tannoy Red will have a different resonance frequency. They are old and have certainly not been played t...

Got a Hi-Fi Mini System. It was one of those Mini System that is conceded “great”, including by some of my “trusted” friends. Well, the “great” Mini System turned out to be quite crappy sounding, even for those $250. Was trying to run with the Mini S...

I really notice the absence of any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be located in the melody range. The problem is something I would pr...

you already have one, which is Tannoy Red in enclosure ? You just need to figure out the way to use it independently via some remotespeaker switch to switch amps (if needed )and that's all . Isn't it good enough or what?Regards, W...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, What happens when you use the injection channel with inverted polarity?[/quote] Unsuccessful. My Injection Channel (Tannoy 10” Red) is too with bandwidth and even at minus 10db is “talks” with HF channel of Macondo, which do...
|
|
Yes, Jarek, I can see that, now that you mention it. Basically, then, it appears it would just eat low end, based on Q vs. other active speaker perameters. So, what would be the "theoretical benefit" of the added passive radiator be in the case you d...

I finally set it up new Tannoy Red best Twitters. They are sealed irregular shape and purely themselves do not sound bad. They do not have the full range feeling as they had with passive radiator and had a typical red sound of late Autumn leaves....

Just turned on the TV to put on some YouTube while preparing to belatedly give Macondo a cleanup and right there was your new video...lost 45mins of cleaning time though, and those Bass Cannons take a lot of cleaning!Turns out the Red 10" pair I purc...

I have about 50 old "special" drivers, and I have wrecked quite a few trying to make them "better". It's slow and imprecise going without manufacturing capabilities. I have successfully replaced surrounds and spyder using "factory" or "factory replic...

I understand someone got good sounding results from - apparently - using a certain passive radiator to effectively lower the Fs of a 10" Tannoy Red. Can it be that the Tannoy has a long enough throw that is still damped in line with the rest of it'...

I think discussing about "multiple systems (or multiple partner) vs one system (or one wife)" is quite different to what i said about two separate audio systems.I mean Two audio systems is not about two different sonic objectives. two different syste...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

I hear you, Romy, too many other things going on to do this full time, like "the old days". To save time and effort, you could try to "repeat" the original Dannoy configuration (same gear and location) and hear if it is "repeatable". If not, you're d...
