deep3shot Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Can these possibly sound so good they're worth anything close to $ 8950.00?

jason str Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Lots of great oddballs around me too but prices are through the roof. They must have a attachment to them and not really want to sell. Edited July 19, 2014 by jason str 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Google these puppys and go to the images tab, the Limmies make some pretty dam fine speakers, Tannoy also has a pretty badazz looking corner horn set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Dam near 9 grand though, way out of line. I was looking st a few things myself, overpriced but not way out of line. Just a taste...

BLSamuel Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Red Monitor. From my bit of research a few years back when I scored a pair of SRM12B studio monitors (similar or at one time called little red?) the 1960's vintage dual concentric drivers are the most desired. Mine are c1982 as best I can tell. Tannoy doesn't have complete records. $9K seems crazy to me too. $900 I think you might be able to get your money back and maybe more? No idea really. The drivers might be worth close to $900 each? But this was a few years back. It would be worth it to give them a listen. Cool drivers if the grills are removable. And if Red Monitor, very pretty for studio monitors. My SRM12Bs have treble and some other control on the front and there's a good chance they came out of Michael Kelsey's studio in Lafayette Indiana. They do have very nice veneer. Check the prices of the 15" dual concentric drivers on eBay. Very similar if not the same driver used in larger home speakers such as the Westminster. I think the 12" in the SRM12B also used in home Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep3shot Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Completed listings on Ebay do not seem to support asking prices of 8 large +. In his CL listing he means Dynaco right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAKO Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The Westminster is a very special 15" with pepperpot HF driver and special ribbing on back of woofer,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yep.. I've never heard a pair, and wouldn't pay it for something so old. I see these drivers come up a lot. Go to eBay and type tannoy 15. You'll see some of the 15" woofers going for that all by themselves. I doubt he'll get that on Craigslist, but probably would on Agon.

rad500cad Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I say go have a listen. I have a set of 1969 15 in dual concentric monitor gold in home built cabnets they sound excellent. Edited July 19, 2014 by rad500cad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Tannoy has a great name. Value? It's really more a matter of current market price and the only way I know how to find that is to research sale and asking prices for the same speaker in about the same condition and age. I'd love to get hold of a pair of Tannoy Westminsters but doubt that I could afford them. Happy hunting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromprof Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Seems like certain older Tannoy models have become "collectible" and thus the goofy inflated prices. They do make some fine speakers though. I used to have a pair of their System 12 studio monitors, also duel concentric, which were quite nice and I was able to pick up used in the $400-500 range. Sold them when my K-horns came along. Edited July 20, 2014 by tromprof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Im loving the old blandex rear covers. Im doubting seriously you will get 9K sound out of them. They things that make some folks feel all warm and fuzzy can be very disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I heard Tannoy Canterburys last year in a great system and proper setup. VERY musical and they would be worth every penny! However, I choose to have a car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
