Tannoy Prestige GRF Gold Reference Loudspeaker (each)

 

“The musical presentation is extremely rich and spatial, with an effortless, casual superiority, creating a three-dimensional sound with an abundance of filigree details. These are maintained at low levels, and not lost even in widely dynamic music.”

— TOM FRANTZEN, STEREO, THE GERMAN HIFI MAGAZINE

 

With a 12″ Dual Concentric and PepperPot WaveGuide. Must be purchased in pairs.
