Tannoy Eaton HPD 295A 50W Speakers – Professionally Restored – 1-Year Warranty

Professionally Restored by HQaudios – Fully Tested – Backed by Our 1-Year Warranty.

Overview

Up for sale is the Tannoy Eaton 295, a classic British bookshelf loudspeaker system from Tannoy’s celebrated HPD era of the 1970s. The Eaton was designed around the compact HPD 295A Dual Concentric driver, combining the low-frequency and high-frequency sections concentrically within a single driver assembly.

The Eaton’s compact ducted-port enclosure and Dual Concentric architecture make it one of Tannoy’s most distinctive vintage loudspeaker designs. Its combination of coherent imaging, efficient operation, and adjustable high-frequency response makes it particularly appealing to listeners who value natural vocal reproduction and classic British hi-fi presentation.

This pair is in Excellent vintage cosmetic condition and has been professionally restored, serviced, and fully tested by HQaudios while preserving the original engineering and vintage character of the Tannoy Eaton 295.

Sound Character

The Tannoy Eaton 295 delivers the coherent and focused presentation associated with Tannoy’s Dual Concentric architecture. The HPD 295A combines a direct-radiating low-frequency section with a high-frequency compression driver on the same acoustic axis, helping produce a unified presentation across the listening range.

The 10-inch driver provides a full and articulate low-frequency foundation for its compact cabinet size, while the concentric high-frequency section contributes clarity, presence, and precise vocal and instrumental placement. The front-mounted Roll-Off and Energy controls allow the upper-frequency balance to be adjusted to suit the room and listening preference.

The Eaton 295 is particularly well suited to vocal recordings, jazz, classical music, acoustic music, blues, classic rock, and vinyl-based vintage systems where coherent imaging, natural midrange presentation, and classic British tonal character are desired.

Cosmetic Condition
