I have decided to give these larger Tannoys a try. I would like to ask for advice for specific driver models, version to look for. Trying to Stay away from the vintage ones that fetch crazy prices.
I have auditioned CPA15’s and those sounded good. Do they use some of the better tannoy 15 drivers? What driver model to hunt down?
Will be using subwoofers.
I know ZM and possibly others members on this forum could provide some insight?
Thanks

I don’t know how much the Tannoy brand factors into this but the 15” coaxial by DIY Sound Group (Vortex-15) compares favorably with similar offerings by Tannoy.
i’d like to get 15 inch Tannoys because I have some smaller Tannoys that I like a lot, V8 and V12.
But I want to build something around their 15”

I’m using a pair of coaxial 10” as my mains so I understand the allure. Larger would definitely be better so best of luck.
So I see the 15" Tannoy options as follows
1.HPD
2.Red
3. 3836
4. 3804
5. Gold
Are all equally good?

That's going really far, but here's my point:
Sometimes I see their 15s" for sale. Like the PA and install versions that are still not crazy expensive -- 3836 or 3804 --from CPA 15 or i15.
They are newer than the HPD, Gold and Red and whatever. I don't want to automatically assume that the newer versions are better. But maybe they are. So that is why I ask.
I am not collecting. I am trying to get help choosing the better Tannoy 15" for a project -- pair of mains that will be aided by a pair of subs.
Sometimes older stuff is better but not always and usually not in speakers. Again, that's why I ask if this applies to Tannoys. Looking at their current product line does not help because some of their PRESTIGE models use the TULIP waveguide and some the PEPPER POT. I cannot see a relationship between the waveguide and class of driver.

No, it's not. You asked for experience. You're not interested in mine, so feel free to do whatever you want. Unsubscribed.
