Use plumber's putty.If you have 4 of the tannoy drivers try using two in each cabinet but only drive one tweeter. Adds 6 dB before distortion.while the sound is very good, it doesn't quite have the sound I heard at Romy's, but he hasn't been able to ...

Sometimes I am surprised that Positive Feedback does publish interesting articles and or course sometime not. It is in contrary to other online publications the never publish interesting articles.
This weekend I was pointed out to the Jeff Day...

[quote user="Chirag"] The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. [/quote]
Not kidding?! :-)

[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...

[quote user="Markus"]I can't really make it out on the photo, but it looks a bit like a Tannoy Supertweeter.[/quote] Yes, it is but my interest is not what kind of brand he used but why he would need an additional tweeter in the first place? The mult...

Jarek, can we just stop talking about the Dannoy "output" at 20 Hz, just because that's Fs? Not saying the Tannoy doesn't benefit sonically from its Dannoy configuration; but, if to add LF, as you say you want to, then you need subs, since the Tannoy...

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 ...

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...

The above in Red color the response of Tannoy 10” Red
LSU/SF3LZ driver with default crossover mounted in in Dunlavy TSW-IV Tower in a
position of third driver and loaded to 4th 25W/8565-00 driver as passive radiator.
In blue, the response of th...

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...

Well, the tunnels will certainly affect the sound, whether they're inside or out, whether or not it winds up mattering to you, and it looks from the photo like the Vitavox will be in the same situation as the Tannoy. You did not say if you aimed to m...

Do you have your B2's refurbished with new caps? Another place to look are the old Tannoy crossovers....

[quote user="Merlin"]Sorry I don't think you understand. Maybe it's because English is no doubt your second language - a shame as it makes intelligent conversation difficult. Try to read through it again.

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 tannoy original crosso...

With regards to the links, as it happens, I totally agree that 15in Tannoy Reds struggle to handle complex music. The crossover is too simplistic and the cones too hard to control with a low power amp. Reds can be lovely in a simple vintage system bu...

Last week found that the distortion I was having was due to some small separations of the woofer cone from the surround suspension probably from age and playing too loud. Applied the glue to them received from English tannoy dealer and distortion...

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'...

[quote user="noviygera"]There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple ...

How does the SPL/dynamic range correlate to frequency? Most of the old 10" drivers can play louder if not pushed down too far. I think as the years passed, the Tannoy had like most similar drivers a sort of "sliding scale" dynamics, and they would pl...

...if a 50yo 8" woofer could do much more than 90dB at 50Hz with anything approaching 'ease'. Remedies in this configuration are a lot like small 2-way standmounts in that we are trying to get a lot of bass output from something small and excursion ...

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...

I always say do not stress them they do not like it and I always hate third bass. The 10” are particularly are fragile with a power handling of a few watts. It is applicable pretty much to any lover MF driver that pushed to work with the “open b...

Today I had a promising experience. Bill is keep experimenting with his Dannoys and I was visiting him to see what's going on there, since I am still waiting for my panels and I can experience the Dannoy foreplay only valceruasly. We did a very usefu...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

I am just reminded of the long-since-superceded (naturally...) 10" Tannoy "mid-field" "pro" monitor. I think it was the TM10, which also used it's cabinet to very good effect, at least in terms of voicing. You want "bubbles", I...
