HifiBean Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 SOLD Item: A pair of Tannoy HPD/385/8 Drivers Location: CANBERRA Price: AUD 1600 Item Condition: Used, vintage, well-kept in clean, no pet, non-smoking environment Reason for selling: Wife no longer accepts too many big speakers in small living area so kid has space to play around Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: - No original crossovers or any crossovers come with the drivers - I have built a pair of Arden boxes for these drivers years ago. The boxes are thick (25mm mdf) and very heavy so anyone in Canberra are welcomed to come and have a listen the drivers with these boxes. - If you want to have the boxes as well, may be 300$ more and you can take them home. - For interstate buyers, the best is not taking the boxes because they are big and heavy Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Kretinburger Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have one crossover for these Can't believeI lost the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HifiBean Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I did not look for the vintage crossovers because I built them myself with good new capacitors, resistors and coils. When I stopped using these drivers, I took the parts from these crossovers to build crossovers for other speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioBrian Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 There's lots of info about building updated crossovers for these. Big improvement is likely, over the frail old Tannoy parts. (I did it). Lovely drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HifiBean Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Agreed about the cross-overs. https://speakerbug.com.au/ has some decent components, not so costly if not wanting to buy from over-seas. I used to buy Jantzen caps and air-core coils from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HifiBean Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) These are the boxes. My wife forced me to bring them down-stair into garage and I had to hire somebody to come over last weekend to help me bringing them down after taking the drivers out. We were careful but still damaged one corner (paint off a bit, in the photos) while taking them down with 3-wheel trolley I have another set of boxes much heavier than these and bigger Edited June 4, 2019 by HifiBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
