Late to the party on commenting but glad to see Audio Advice taking on this iconic brand.

Thanks very much!

[@sethfm9773]

Tannoy has a great legacy. I’m excited to see these available.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, they have been around for decades. Thanks for watching

[@taylorrasmus1905]

Great looking speakers!

[@AudioAdvice]

We agree! Thanks

[@RobertRuderman]

Love the old school look. Can't wait to hear them!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks, we hope you get a chance to hear them soon!

[@stevelucey7719]

Beautiful speakers!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks!

[@bradleydurbin6784]

There’s a new speaker company called Fyne. It’s a speaker company comprised of former Tannoy engineers. I heard that they are great speakers as well.

[@AudioAdvice]

They are some former Tannoy people, although a few have come back since Tannoy reopened their design and assembly facility in the UK. Thanks for watching

[@1963creole]

The SGM with the McIntosh was a great pairing! The first time I heard Tannoy was in the early 80’s powered by a McIntosh amp and my first time experiencing “holographic” imaging on a “wide soundstage.” Since then, it’s been like a holy grail, or quiet addiction I keep hidden, to pursue that sound combination.🔊🎼🔊

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mikehayes1404]

Looks like I need to get the old Sansui receiver I’ve been looking at fixed, it would look great with these speakers!!

[@AudioAdvice]

Haha. It would!

[@NguyenTrinhMusic]

Are the new sgm series made in the UK or china ?

[@SydneyPeterson-sd7tz]

What’s the difference between the Eaton and the SGM 10 version

[@AudioAdvice]

SGM is the newer model. Feel free to reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to go over the differences and discuss what speaker system is best for your needs. Thanks for watching

[@CarlVanDoren61]

Heretic AD612 is the new bomb 💣

[@AudioAdvice]

Interesting design. Thanks for watching

[@Alamo-cz5xc]

Maybe one day

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching

[@Novilicious]

Are Fyne and Tannoy related? Is it like Lexus and Toyota? Pray explain 😅

[@AudioAdvice]

Two different companies.

[@theoriginaldanalogue]

Apparently, Fyne was started by ex Tannoy engineers.

[@theoriginaldanalogue]

I heard the SGM 15’s which sounded very nice. Good level of detail and plenty of scale. As for the Stirlings, to me, they sounded awful. Harsh. Lacking detail. A few resonant frequencies popping out. Boxy. I was astonished that a speaker that expensive sounded that bad.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing. Did you hear them in the same room/gear?

[@theoriginaldanalogue]

@@AudioAdvice No worries. I don’t like being negative and I know views are subjective but in this case I felt I had to share my thoughts. No they were not in the same room but I have heard the Stirlings twice now with two different setups. Both times they have the same disappointing result. FYI the last time I heard them was through as Sugden Masterclass and I’ve never heard anything sound bad through one of their class an amps whether it was brand new or an original from the 60’s. SGM 15’s were great. Solid state or valve, they were brill.

[@AudioAdvice]

@@theoriginaldanalogue Appreciate the details, thanks!

[@doctorbritain9632]

They're Scottish so L-Zed.

[@vitordomingues5837]

Truly, Tannoy's story ends in 2015. After the acquisition of the brand was made by the "MusicTribe" consortium and its speakers began to be built in China, without the original technical and engineering team from Tannoy, then based in Scotland that gave the "true name and soul" to the brand. This technical team and its "Master engineer", who abandoned that project and created FYNE AUDIO (based in Scotland)... today, the brand that represents the true and historical TANNOY heritage. The historical introduction of the brand in this video could even be considered in bad taste and misleading. For the Tannoy purist, buying speakers with his seal, manufactured today, would be like drinking an excellent "wine with too much water".

[@Altair00rion]

So I’ll stick to made in America klipsch heritage to listen to my rock and roll?

[@CarlVanDoren61]

Panels w subs play nice 😊​@@Altair00rion

I have to push back on this at least a bit for two reasons. While it's true that most of the company history has been substantially diluted, it doesn't mean Tannoy can't still produce a quality product. It is true that Paul Mills and Andrzej Sosna did leave Tannoy to start their own company and took several key employees with them, a few long time Tannoy employees have now returned to the company since they opened the new warehouse facility and assembly stations in Hamilton. Tannoy currently has some very skilled people involved with their engineering department such as Danny Cooklin, who is well known in the pro audio scene, having designed both drivers and systems for the likes of Turbosound, Funktion One (the gold standard in dance club sound systems), and operates a consulting design firm with Lawrence Dickie of B&W Nautilus and Vivid Giya fame. As for authenticity, neither company does their own woodwork in the UK like it was done 40 years ago, with a large percentage of production now being out sourced. The cabinets for the Tannoy Prestige series currently come from the same OEM cabinet manufacturer in Swidnica Poland as the Fyne F1 Series. One of the photos of the production facilities shows a guy building F1-5 cabinets on one table while a guy 10 feet behind him is building Turnberry cabinets. Compression drivers for the Fyne F1 series are produced in Spain by Beyma, with the rest of the driver assembly being done in the UK. While it's true that a lot more of Tannoy product is now produced in the Music Tribe facility in China, that may not be all that bad as the fit and finish of the drivers produced in China is currently better than their older UK manufactured counterparts. Over the years I've seen the inside of many vintage Tannoys ranging from the original 10" reds and silvers up to the Westminster TW, and the build quality was OK, but nothing to write home about either.
