Royq Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Item: Tannoy 10 inch Monitor Golds Speakers Location: Parramatta NSW Price: $1900 Item Condition: excellent restored Reason for selling: Too many speakers Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Hi Putting up for sale beautiful pair of Tannoy 10 inch Monitor golds in original cabinets from the 70's. These sound excellent. I put them as excellent for age please consider these are nearly 50 years old same as average Tannoy user I would think. The person I purchased from had them restored with some work to cross overs, modern terminals, cabs re polished etc, they do have some repairs to some corners, some veneer chips as would be expected I think photos make them seem worse than they are. My original idea was to have new cabs made for a 10 incher similar to modern Glenairs etc and like most people never got around to it. In the end my interest has dwindled so putting them up for sale. The sound is great to my ears.They easily bested the Spendors SP2/3R2 I had being rich, detailed and dynamic. They wont reproduce like 15 inch speaker, but remember they are still 10 inch driver so still have more bass than most stand mount speakers. These were my first intro to Tannoys , which I remained converted ever since and would make a similar buy for someone else. Happy to demo or drop off at a Pack and Send for interstate.

a.dent Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looking at the cloth and the binding posts I reckon these used to be mine several years ago. Yep they sounded good then. I moved on to 15s after this. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other questions pls contact me rgds roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been a great speaker, can you update me on who did the work on them I'm sure it would give confidence to a potential buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Seb They were smaller than yours, the SP2/3R2 not a bad speaker very natural, but a bit polite and sluggish in comparison and these seem more expressive at least to me. I would love to hear the SP 100 one day but they seem difficult to drive and placement compared to tannoys which fit against the wall plus i would say more tube friendly, although the sugden power amp drives both well but the tannoys worked with a variety of tube amps even as low as 12W pc , the best I thought was the Mac 225 at 22W pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
