Beautiful speakers...!.. GLWTS.

Nice to meet all Tannoy owners under one thread ! Here is a video of my Tannoys, Tannoy Arden with HPD385 drivers. Amplifier used here in this video is a Luxman L58a. Crossovers are original one but recapped. It is HPD385 drivers which made me to fall in love with Tannoys ! .. No other speakers impressed me this much for the money I can afford. All Tannoys I have tried so far is all HPD385 drivers but different cabinets. Tried them in custom cabinets made by Krix Australia, in Original Berkeley and Arden cabinets. I would like to try the 15" Gold drivers, different cabinets and do some experiments with crossovers in future.

Thankyou everyone, from your posts I realised the unit is missing the front panel Anyway, I have contacted Trevor. He was happy to give all info about this unit and get the unit checked. Met his brother Chris in Melbourne....Yes, Trevor Lees Audio office store is still open in Hawthorn near Glenferrie. station. Chirs helped me to get the unit fully checked and serviced. Also provided a front panel for both the preamplifier and poser supply. They have got one more same unit sitting in their storage. So if anyone interested do contact Trevor or Chris. Compared the sound from power supply and found its same on both the units and he said its normal. At home it was a bit noisy because there was no bushes at the bottom. Chris suggested I can try 12ax7 valve in the place of 6SL7 by using adaptor to get it fitted. I think it will be good if I'm replacing those two volume pots with good ones. I'm planning to stay with this case for now and plan for a new case slowly in future. Will post photo of the unit here And it sounds nice.

Hi Steve, Sorry for the late reply. The whole restoration of my unit was done by Dallas, Clarke Audio in Melbourne. If you are from Melbourne, Rob at RV HiFi does a neat job and takes care of the vintage units well. I was not that confident to do it myself, especially when the unit is very special. Also, after replacing this light housing there will be a slight difference in the blue light shade when comparing the light from left hand side small housing even if you are using same globes and new vellum papers. I believe this is because of the difference in the reflection of light. The new case being in white colour reflects more and other small old case with age is in slightly yellowish reflects less light. So I will recommend to get the small housing painted in a similar finish.

I will be driving a three tonne truck from Adelaide to Melbourne in the last weekend of January probably on 25th evening or 26th morning from Adelaide. There will be plenty of space available in the truck. Happy to help if anyone would like to transport anything from Adelaide to Melbourne or to the towns in between. Its great if you can contribute something towards the expense depending on the volume of item, anyway no demands.

KEF 104/2 performs really well in this video, but I'm sure HPD315 drivers has got more potential when paired with good cabinets and crossover tweaks.

I really like your comparison ''Test driving a car in a car park'. But, seriously how many of us get chance to test drive cars in a track and compare.... which will reveal the true potential of a car rather than driving on normal road?! How many of us are fortunate enough to have a dedicated listening room with proper room acoustic treatment?! Test driving a car in a car park also sometimes gives some sort of idea to someone who are capable of extracting it to some extend from a limited space available. In my opinion, the same is applicable here also. It won't be representing the true potential of both the speakers and there are a huge number of factors to do with that. But it will definitely represent the tone character of both the speakers which will be helpful to a number of people. I think we should appreciate his effort and time he spent to make this video, and see what we can extract from it..... together with identifying the limitations. Good job @Willmax keep going ....

Item: Dali Ikon 7 Speakers Location: Cranbourne North, Melbourne Price: $800 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: my permanent speakers are Tannoy Arden + moving interstate Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal(Covering fees), Bank transfer Extra Info: Really smooth and natural sounding speakers in my opinion. PM me if you have any questions. Fluid-cooled soft dome tweeter enhances power handling and control of coil movement. A rigidly braced rear chamber protects the ribbon from the influence of the bass drivers. Three identical bass/midrange drivers incorporate dual-magnet motor systems to prevent distortion by establishing a stable, focused magnetic field. The front-mounted reflex port beneath the woofers allows placement of the speakers flush very close to the rear wall. Photos: Video
