Tannoy Cheviot Loudspeaker (each)
Must be purchased in pairs.
Here is your opportunity to get Cheviot at a great price. Upscale Audio has always been on your side. The new Tannoy importer didn't bring in Cheviot but only the SGM-12, which we were told is more or less a Cheviot with the controls moved. And one more difference: They raised the price to $3995 each.
Now, it's been speculated that they didn't bring in Cheviot because we have a lot in stock, and our price is way less than $3995 they ask for the SGM.
“Tannoy has been steadily refining a notable design for decades and has achieved some remarkable results, especially in terms of the faithful reproduction of instrumental and vocal sonorities. ”
Music is an art form that needs to be experienced in all its beauty, detail, and nuance without the colouration that can instantly detract from its purest essence. A truly great loudspeaker design enables the speaker system to remove itself from the soundscape and present the music in a manner that envelopes you in the same way as a live performance.
In the 1970s TANNOY created a range of monitors that forever changed the way studio engineers and audiophiles alike chose to experience high-quality audio. The TANNOY HPD Series quickly became some of the most beloved Hi-Fi loudspeakers of all time.
More than just a homage to its predecessor, the Legacy Series CHEVIOT Floor-Standing 12" Dual Concentric Hi-Fi Loudspeaker further elevates the TANNOY HPD heritage of outstandingly transparent performance with the implementation of new, upscaled drivers and components – technology that was unavailable at the time. Simply put, CHEVIOT delivers legendary HPD performance to a new generation of music aficionados.
