Tannoy still in business? #confused

@mike4597 Cool!

I’ve been considering the Vintage Classic Gold VII SP.

Product purism, largely a fantasy.  External forces always exist which inflict realities onto manufacturing and marketing philosophies.  

A designer may want a particular quality of driver(s).  The marketing people rudely remind said designer of profit truths which forbid selection(s).  The problem may be cost, or supply chain reliability, driver manufacturer solvency.  Tannoy has probably run several decision trees to arrive at their product line mix.  It's not easy.

So much comes down to working capital which allows latitude and choice for Tannoy.  Choice with enough capital to survive mistakes made in any of the numerous challenges confronted.

Been in this audiophile game long enough to recognize that customers are now mostly cheap and willing to believe they've scored something of equal quality for half the price.  The free lunch crowd.  I wish Tannoy continued success in a tough environment.

Fyne speakers seem great - on paper. I wish they had more dealers.

Also, I’ve tried reaching out to multiple dealers- several would not respond back, and those who did respond- offered a 0% off of MSRP on Fyne - while offering nice discounts on pretty much everything else.

Not sure why Fyne think they are so special - as their resale values don’t support that assertion. All speakers look outstanding, though- from 7 series and up. Hopefully they can add some more dealers in US
