Description

Tannoy Mercury mX2 Five-Star Bookshelf Speakers — Pair

The Five-Star Tannoy Mercury mX2 — awarded five stars by What Hi-Fi? magazine, who praised its “great build and finish; incredible performance for the price.” A compelling bookshelf speaker from one of Britain’s most celebrated loudspeaker manufacturers, finished in Dark Oak with black drivers and black grilles.

The mX2 sits in the second generation of Tannoy’s enormously popular Mercury range, upgrading the original Mercury series with ceramic-coated drivers for improved rigidity, lower distortion, and extended high-frequency detail. The 145mm ceramic-coated bass driver delivers a warm, full-bodied midrange with bass extension down to an impressive 48 Hz — remarkably deep for a compact bookshelf speaker. The 25mm soft dome tweeter provides smooth, refined high frequencies out to 20 kHz without harshness or fatigue, even during extended listening sessions.

The rear-ported bass reflex cabinet includes foam bungs for the ports, allowing bass response to be tuned to suit the listening space — plug the ports for tighter, more controlled bass when placed close to a rear wall, or leave them open for maximum extension and fullness in free-standing placement. This practical touch makes the mX2 genuinely adaptable to a wide range of room situations.

The cabinet is solidly constructed from MDF with clean Dark Oak vinyl finish, and magnetic shielding allows placement near displays. Dual gold-plated 5-way binding posts accept banana plugs, spades, pins, or bare wire, and allow bi-wiring for those who wish to optimize performance further.

Tannoy began in London in 1926, and since the late 1940s it has been known for its Dual Concentric driver, with the tweeter set in the centre of the woofer. We carry Tannoy towers, bookshelf speakers, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had more than 210 Tannoy listings so far, covering more than 65 different models. Every used Tannoy here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Our five best-selling Tannoy models so far: the Mercury mx3 towers, the Mercury mx2 and mx1 bookshelf speakers, the PS 110 subwoofer and the Mercury mxC centre.

The Tannoy story, 1926 to today

Guy R. Fountain founded the company in London in 1926 as the Tulsemere Manufacturing Company, making rectifiers and battery chargers for radio sets. It became Tannoy in 1928, a name taken from the tantalum alloy in his rectifier.

The Dual Concentric. Ronnie Rackham's Dual Concentric driver first appeared as the "Monitor Black" in 1947 or 1948 (sources differ). The Monitor Silver, Red and Gold generations followed through the 1950s and 1960s, then the HPD in 1974.

Scotland. Harman International bought Tannoy in 1974, and production moved from London to Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1976. Managers bought the business in 1981, Tannoy merged with Goodmans in the mid-1980s and joined Denmark's TC Group in 2002.

Today. Music Group, later Music Tribe, bought TC Group in 2015. From 2016 the lower-priced ranges, such as Mercury, were made in China, while Prestige stayed in Scotland, where Tannoy's headquarters and assembly are now in Hamilton.

Which Tannoy is which?

1970s HPD cabinets: the Arden, Berkeley, Cheviot, Devon and Eaton, all with Dual Concentric drivers. The Arden, Cheviot and Eaton were reissued as the "Legacy" series in 2017.

Mercury (early 1980s onward): the entry range, through many generations. Our best-selling mx3, mx2, mx1 and mxC come from this family.

Profile (1991 to 1994) and Sensys DC (about 2004): Dual Concentric ranges between Mercury and Prestige.

Revolution (1998 onward): cherry-veneered models such as the R1, R2 and R3.

Prestige (1980s onward): the traditional-styled Dual Concentric range, such as the Westminster and Stirling, later in Gold Reference versions.

Definition (2009): birch-ply Dual Concentric models built in Scotland, such as the DC8 and DC10T.

Buying used Tannoy: what to check

HPD-era surrounds. The surrounds on 1970s drivers rot with age, and many have been replaced. Ask what was replaced and with what.

Dating the drivers. Frame colour alone is not a reliable guide to a Dual Concentric's age; construction details date it better.

Reused names. An Arden, Cheviot or Eaton may be a 1970s original or a 2017 Legacy reissue.

Origin label. From 2016, Mercury and Revolution models were made in China and Prestige in Scotland. Check the label if it matters to you.
