A pair of compact two-way Tannoy speakers from the limited Custom edition of Tannoy’s Mercury F-series, in very good condition, with a wall bracket built into the back of each cabinet.
What they are
The Mercury FR was the smallest model in Tannoy’s Mercury F-series. Tannoy designed it as a rear or surround speaker, and it works just as well as a front stereo pair wherever space is tight: a desk, a kitchen, a bedroom or a small study. The Custom edition was Tannoy’s step-up version of the range, and the badge on the back of each cabinet reads “Limited Edition Audiophile Upgrade”.
Each speaker pairs a 1″ woven polyester dome tweeter, layer-damped and driven by a shielded neodymium magnet, with a 4″ multi-fibre coated paper cone. A fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover hands over between them at 2.9 kHz. The 2.6-litre cabinet is rear-ported, cross-braced inside, and built on a 15 mm MDF front baffle for rigidity.
For the Custom edition, Tannoy describes an upgraded crossover, including a polypropylene capacitor in the tweeter feed, and internal wiring replaced with Van den Hul silver-plated cable.
A bracket pre-fitted to the back of each cabinet lets them hang flat against a wall, in portrait or landscape. At 86 dB and 8 ohms, rated for amplifiers from 10 to 60 watts, they are an easy match for a modest receiver. Bass is rated to 59 Hz, so for full-range music in a larger room they are happiest alongside a subwoofer; as surrounds, or as a compact pair for close listening, they need nothing else.
Around the back, red and black spring-clip terminals in a recessed cup take bare wire or pin connectors. Our own Radique Audio pin connectors are the natural match for a neat, secure fit, and our Custom Speaker Cable Builder will make you a pair to the exact length, terminated and ready to connect.
Designed and engineered in the UK.
Condition
Very good, and free of significant marks. The Dark Oak cabinets, drivers and Tannoy badges all present well, as the photographs show. Both black cloth grilles are included.
A small, well-made Tannoy pair that hangs on a wall or sits on a shelf, from the step-up Custom edition of the range.

🔌 Speaker Cable and the Right Connector
The speaker terminals here are spring clips rather than binding posts, so banana plugs and spades will not fit — our own gold-plated pin connectors are the right answer, and they make connecting and disconnecting far easier than stripping bare wire every time. We also hand-build speaker cable here in any length you need, terminated to suit, on our Custom Speaker Cable Builder. 👉

Gold Plated Pin Connectors – Flexible Pins, Radique Audio
Made for spring clips and guillotine terminals, where bare wire frays and works loose. The pin flexes rather than sitting rigid, so it does not lever on a forty-year-old terminal, and two set screws hold the wire instead of one. Takes 12 to 18 AWG — 12 is a tight fit. Colour-coded non-conductive jackets and a textured grip. Sold in 1, 2, 4 or 10 pairs.

Bowers & Wilkins WM2 Outdoor Speakers, Pearl White, w/ Brackets
On an outdoor speaker the condition is the whole story — these are almost never retired for how they sound, but for sun turning a white cabinet chalky and yellow, freeze-thaw working at the seams, and grilles blooming with rust. Pearl White shows all of it more plainly than black would, and this pair grades Very Good, factory wall brackets included. B&W did not design a weatherproof box and then find a driver to fit it either: a 130 mm woven fibreglass cone crossed at 3.5 kHz to a 25 mm dome, the same material philosophy as their indoor speakers.
Castle Knight 1 Bookshelf Speakers — Real Wood Cherry, Pair
From a Yorkshire company that spent forty years being known for its cabinets above all else. The cherry veneer is deep-figured real timber, book-matched across the two cabinets so the grain mirrors when they are set up together, then sealed and waxed by hand over more than five days. Underneath is an honest two-way bass-reflex with a 130 mm woven natural-fibre bass/mid driver and five-way binding posts. Very Good condition.
