Selling Tannoy Mercury Mx
« on: November 11, 2013, 08:33:12 AM »
Hey Guys,

I saw some interest for this stuff in the shout box so I figured I'd let you know that I'm selling it. I picked it up from a guy in the north hills who works in a studio and absolutely loves Tannoy. He kept this stuff in amazing condition but his wife made him sell it and go the sound-bar route. I was going to give it to my dad for x-mas but plans changed so now I'm selling it to fund a HT receiver for my dad.

Happy to negotiate with forum members.

These are also mine:

I picked them up at the last swap meet. Used them for a little while with my HT but eventually went back to my velodyne. I paid $80 for them so I'm just trying to get my money back.

email sent re the Tannoys
a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

Are the subs passive?

They are passive...now. They originally had 150 watt plate amps but both had died before I bought them. I ran them off at 120 watt/channel rotel amp for a week and it drove them pretty well.

I see now that you said that in the ad.   I've really got to work on my literacy.   Congrats on the sale.
