pic shows Tannoy Arden.Tannoy News: Prestige and Legacy Products
As a long time Tannoy Canterbury user I have written quite a bit on the Tannoy Prestige series (sample this Overview) and retain interest in other large Tannoy loudspeakers.
Recently I discovered a few excellent articles in Taiwanese media that cover the current Tannoy products. The Taiwanese magazines always have in-depth coverage and boast great pictures.
If you don't read Chinese, you may still want to browse the pictures or use a translator.
九十年老店重振旗鼓－訪Tannoy國際業務總監 (U-Audio 2017 Interview with Head of Global Sales, Lifestyle Products, Jamie O'Callaghan). This article covers Tannoy in general (including its much larger professional division) and once again dispels rumors and confirm that their Prestige and Legacy products are very much made in Scotland.
復刻經典的Legacy系列－專訪Tannoy國際業務總監 (On Tannoy's new incarnations of the Legacy Series). This article is on the new incarnations of the famous Legacy series, successors to the HPD, which now comprises 3 models (Arden, Cheviot, Eaton). This is excellent news, as these are considerably cheaper than the models in the Prestige series. The Arden is most interesting - I'd love to hear it. This topic is also covered in audionet.
Glad to hear from you again.
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether I'll get a chance to hear the Arden except at the dealer's, which unfortunately is not particularly good sounding (as they use Esoteric and Accuphase, which imho are not good partners).
