Just picked up a pair of Tannoy Arundels.  15" Coincident speaks.   Always liked the sound of Jim's (Hogg) and got an opportunity.   It is going to take some time for me to get my horns all setup and measured, in the meantime, these are ready to plug in.

Very cool and not horribly expensive. Nice.  :thumb:

Congrats Josh, nice deal...

I love the 8" Tannoy coax, one of my most favorite speakers. That's the only one I've heard, so I'm intrigued about the bigger ones. I hope you'll write more about it when you get used to them.

I think they were a pretty good deal.  I wouldn't mind another set of speakers around to play with, especially given that I have some extra amps.  :icon_lol:

They are big but I like the vintage look with the light colored cloth and medium wood color.

Nice score. We got a pair of Tannoy Silver 15s with cross-overs this spring. They sold for lots of money. Nice drivers, requiring not much power.

I think there is a Tannoy group on the net that has tons of info on this stuff.

Tannoy does seem to generate enthusiastic owner groups. Here's one:

I enjoyed my Ardens with their 15" HPD 385 drivers for years.
