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.

KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black Pair
KEF’s Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of a 3-inch mid-bass cone, so the pair behaves as a single source and the tonal balance holds across the room rather than in one chair. Sealed cast aluminium enclosures, 120 Hz to 22 kHz, 86 dB, magnetically shielded. Very good cosmetic condition.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped reflectors Mirage calls OMNIGUIDEs, throwing sound through a full 360 degrees with a deliberate bias toward the front — which is what takes the sweet spot off a single chair. This is the original version at a genuine 7 lbs each, with a cast aluminium baffle and butyl rubber surrounds rather than foam. Built in Canada; condition very good.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite (Pair) – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped OMNIGUIDE reflectors, giving 360-degree dispersion with a deliberate forward bias. 70 Hz to 20 kHz, 89 dB, cast aluminum woofer baffle and butyl surrounds rather than foam. These are the original 7 lb version; the later revisions come in under five. 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.

B&W Solid HCM1 Compact Satellite Speakers with Integrated Stands
A sealed two-way from B&W's Rock Solid series — a 4-inch fibre cone woofer and a polycarbonate dome in a polycarbonate cabinet chosen to kill resonance without adding mass. 90 dB, so modest amplification is enough, and magnetically shielded for desk use.

KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black (Single)
KEF's Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of the 3-inch mid-bass, so dispersion stays even off-axis and the far seat hears what the middle seat does.
