What Tannoy 15" to buy?

[Lynnot]

Hi,

considering new speakers my eyes fell on the Tannoy Legacy series.
Now I'm interested in either a modest pair of Tannoy Legacy Arden or the slightly newer Tannoy SGM15s.
I have not heard them yet, but I did own Tannoy SRM12X in the past.

Any happy users here?
Any opinions?

Rgds, Tony

They had a terrible showing at the recent show in Bristol with the staff issues in the UK.

Here is a recent post from Graham Hendry - the former head of Tannoy. He has publicly spoken at length about the massive issues at Tannoy.

Not only did he oversee the move of their production to China, he dealt with the years of massive QC issues from that move. Kevin Deal the former distributor has also done videos outlining the lengths he had to go through prior to shipping any speaker to a customer due to the many issues.

The quality issues and lack of factory support is real.

Just know before you buy.
