Best Tannoy speakers with $4000 Budget

I have a pair of 15" Gold HPD for sale here on Audiogon. They are special but not perfect. Email and I'll be glad to tell you my experience.

My audio pal has a beautiful pait of Glenair 15's he got under your budget. If I had to advice on one thing they need IMO it would be a super tweeter to get them sounding as I wish but you may differ.

I owned a Pathos TT and loved it but found it to be very speaker dependent. Make sure you can audition whatever you decide to buy WITH the Pathos before committing.

Will do, very good advice. Thanks!

Hi,

The way I got back into Tannoys was to purchaase a used pair of HPD 315 drivers from Ebay UK. I had custom 150 liter cabinets @200lbs. (each) made for them, and did the assembly and internal wiring myself. I have since upgraded the crossovers with custom outboard units with much better parts than the originals, and lastly, I have replaced the woofer cones with new "hard edge" surrounds. These are perhaps the finest sounding speakers I have heard, certainly the best I have owned, which includes $9000 pair Dynaudios. My investment is around $4000 for the pair. I invested much time, as well, in building the crossovers, wiring the internals, etc; but it was well worth the effort. I would do it all over again. These will spend the rest of my life with me, with no regrets.

An option to consider, if you are up to it.

Regards,
Dan
