REFURBISHED

This pair of speakers has been professionally serviced, inspected, and sound-tested by HQaudios to preserve the original design while ensuring reliable, long-term performance for daily listening.

Electrical Inspection & Safety Service

All internal wiring, signal paths, and connectors were inspected and secured to ensure consistent, noise-free performance. Crossover networks were checked for proper operation, stable impedance behavior, and clean signal transfer. Both speakers were verified for stable output during extended playback.

Driver & Crossover Performance Verification

The Tannoy Gold Monitor 12 inch drivers were inspected and tested to confirm even output, clean clarity, and proper balance between left and right speakers. We checked for common vintage driver issues such as output drop, distortion, rubbing, or imbalance at normal listening levels. Frequency integration through the crossover was verified to ensure the classic Tannoy coherence, tone, and imaging.

Cabinet, Grille & Originality Notes

Cabinets, frames, and grille cloth were cleaned and detailed to maintain a neat, period-correct appearance. All labels and identification areas were inspected for authenticity and presentation. The original factory labels were carefully cleaned and restored to a like-new condition, preserving collector value and ensuring a museum-grade finish. The original Tannoy logo is sharp, clean, and visually striking—enhancing the overall presentation.

Listening & Endurance Testing

Extended playback testing was performed to verify stability, tonal balance, and matched output between both speakers. Final evaluation confirms the signature Tannoy Gold Monitor sound: rich, natural midrange, smooth high frequencies, strong dynamics, and excellent imaging with a musical, fatigue-free presentation.
