From Tannoy:
“The Drive Systems in this Range, when mounted in suitable enclosures, are capable of reproducing the entire audio spectrum at the high sound levels and with the low distortion required in professional work and in the most ambitious domestic installations.
Each system consists of a direct radiator bass unit and a high frequency compression driver, both located concentrically within the same frame and magnet assembly.
The low-frequency section is a long excursion, low resonance loudspeaker having a 2″ high temperature voice-coil. The ‘296 uses a newly developed polyolefin cone material which gives a particularly smooth colour-free response.
High frequencies are reproduced by a horn-loaded compression driver utilizing a duralumin diaphragm and 2″ diameter aluminum voice-coil.
The crossover network receives an electrical signal containing the full frequency spectrum from the amplifier, and divides it between the low frequency and high frequency sections of the loudspeaker system. Tannoy networks are of the highest quality: capacitors are non-polarized, solid dialetric types for low losses and close tolerances; resistors and inductors are very generously rated; and all components are assembled on a fiberglass printed circuit board for maximum reliability.”
Tannoy Domestic range drivers introduced in / around 1980 replacing the HPD Series.

Tannoy Mercury F3 Slim Floorstanding Speakers — Apple Finish
A two-way floorstander built on a deliberately simple recipe: one 6.5 inch bass and midrange driver covering everything below a 1 inch textile dome, crossed at 2.7 kHz by a fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley — no midrange handover in the region the ear is most sensitive to, and drivers that sum flat and stay in phase through the crossing. 89 dB into a nominal 8 ohms, happy on anything from 10 to 100 watts, and eight inches wide. The light Apple finish hardly ever comes up. Very Good condition.
PSB VisionSound VS300 Aluminum On-Wall Speaker
An on-wall speaker engineered as one rather than adapted into one. It shares the tweeter, terminals and crossover of PSB's VS400 floorstander, but the port was moved to the front so the cabinet can sit flat to a wall without the wall changing what it does — and a rear switch selects NORMAL or ON-WALL, filling the 400 to 500 Hz dip that hard mounting creates. Extruded aluminium, built in Pickering, Ontario. Graded Excellent or Very Good; the only thing separating the two is a single Tic Tac-sized hole at the extreme edge of one grille frame.
Polk Audio f/x 500i Bipole/Dipole Surrounds — Made in USA, Pair
A genuine mirror-imaged pair, labelled LC and RC, with two driver arrays set 45 degrees apart and a rear-panel switch that flips them between bipole and dipole — locatable effects on the wall behind you, a diffuse field on the side walls, same speakers either way. 19.4 lbs each, half again the weight of the FXi A6 that replaced them, and 2 dB more sensitive. Built in the United States, with keyhole mounts moulded into the cabinet. Very Good condition.
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.
Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 DAC & Preamp — Balanced XLR
About as close to unused as a fourteen-year-old component gets — the protective film is still on the display, and the original carton, manual and remote are all here. The converter section is the DacMagic Plus's: twin Wolfson WM8740s in dual differential, fed by Anagram ATF2 upsampling that re-clocks and interpolates everything arriving at any input up to 24-bit/384 kHz, with three selectable reconstruction filters. Balanced XLR outputs and a digital preamplifier stage on top of that. Excellent condition.
Totem Acoustic Sttaf Floorstanders — Maple, Made in Canada
Totem's slim, hand-built Montreal floorstander in the maple veneer the factory charged extra for — a single 5.5-inch driver and a textile dome in a narrow mono-shell cabinet that images far wider than its size and reaches 39 Hz. Happiest at civilised levels in a small to medium room. Fitted here with Radique Audio bi-wire bridges. Pair, ships from Kanata, ON.
Totem Claw Speaker Isolation Feet — Set of 6, Machined Aluminum
Totem's own decoupling feet — the same machined aluminium Claws the factory fits to the Forest and the Wind — as a complete set of six, enough for one pair of speakers at three per cabinet. They fix with the included self-tapping screws, so no threaded insert is needed, and work on hardwood, tile or concrete where spikes do not. Ball bearings included.
PSB Alpha A/V Shielded Bookshelf Speakers — 6.5″ Woofer, Canada
The final 6.5-inch version of the speaker that made PSB's name — the 1998 Alpha A/V, with the upgraded tweeter, crossover and banana-plug terminals, and magnetic shielding so it can sit right beside a screen. Ninety decibels sensitive, so a modest receiver drives them well. Black ash, graded Very Good, bench-tested here. Pair.
23.5″ Metal Speaker Stands — Concealed Cable Routing, Pair
A heavy pair of 23.5-inch stands that put a bookshelf speaker's tweeter at seated ear height and hide the cable inside the pillar. Wide 10 by 12-inch base under a 6 by 6-inch top plate, 12.4 lb each, fillable with sand or shot if you want more mass. Fitted with our own magenta felt pads. Black, matte finish, pair.
Sony TAE-20FB Falcon Preamplifier — Bronze, MM/MC Phono, Japan
The control amplifier from Sony's short-lived Falcon range — made in Japan for barely two years and rarely seen on this side of the Pacific. Bronze-anodised aluminium case, a real moving-coil phono input alongside moving-magnet, and a signal path that has been freshly recapped. A couple of light marks on the casework, otherwise Very Good. Ships from Kanata, ON.
