Vintage Tannoy Monitor Gold
These are iconic vintage speakers, with some models (like the 12″ or 15″ LSU/HF) dating back to the 1970s.
- Driver Technology: Known for their Dual Concentric drivers, often with paper or pleated paper surrounds (e.g., Little Gold Monitors) or butyl rubber (Super Red/Gold).
- Character: They are praised for effortless dynamics, rich tone, and natural, coherent sound, making them a good match for low-power tube amps.
- Restoration: Older HPD series drivers used foam surrounds that require replacing every 10–15 years, while later K-series drivers used more durable surrounds.
- Cabinet: Original Tannoy Gold 12” drivers were often housed in large cabinets (e.g., 36” H × 20” W × 15” D).
