Having drifted away from my first high quality speaker experience, 12" Tannoy Dual Concentric, I sadly sold what I thought was my lifetime keepers, namely Dynaudio Contour 5.4's, I had decided to get back to my first love, Tannoy.
I had 1 7/8" thick 150 liter 192lb. custom enclosures in a front ported reflex design built to my specifications by Frank Wyatt (Wyatt Woodworking). They are finished in a high-gloss Pommelle Sapele, and have turned out beautifully. I had purchased a pair of 35 year old HPD 315 drivers (12" Dual Concentric) Tannoys on Ebay UK, and installed them with DH Labs Q10 Silvers, hardwired to replace the flimsy Tannoy connectors.
How do they sound? More like live music than any other speaker I have ever heard. The dynamics and scale of music are just more right than with any other dynamic driver I have heard. I am in the process of upgrading the old crossovers with Mundorf Silver in Oil Caps, but I assure you, these are my lifetime music partners, and unlike some marriages, which may become dissolute after a time, these custom, one-off beauties will go the distance. 'Til death do us part!
Thanks for taking the time to read this, enjoy,
Dan
