Active sub too, nice find, but thankfully non in my area.

Sobbing and happy at the same time :/

​You've gotta be kidding right? Tannoy ate a prestigious British company, with some manufacturing still in the UK. These will likely be made in China but aren't most consumer goods?

​Sony aren't a 'premium' manufacturer (whatever that is) when it comes to quality audio. As mentioned earlier Kef are high end and I would also place Tannoy well above Sony when it comes to speakers!

The troll got you :smiley:

FYI - Anyone wanting to wall mount these, but want to angle them (the brackets included are L shaped so impractical) I have found these work well:
Brateck Dual Mount Speaker Brackets - Only slight downside is they are under the speaker - but nothing can be done about that thanks to Tannoy's bottom screw hole!

Great deal...I remember selling these in a retail store for more than £400 originally, when they were called the FX5.1 . The tweeters are especially good. Sub wasn't amazing though. They used to come with wall brackets too.
Always thought they were made in China though.

Tannoy themselves still appear to be going strong, with their awesome Dual Concentric Prestige and Kingdom lines. I'd certainly buy these over Sonys and on a par with the entry level Kefs.

Or an Onkyogoing joke perhaps....

Someone did mention Loughborough earlier too.

I have an old Yamaha 5.1 speaker set: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/accessories/pc-speakers/49785/yamaha-ns-p285-review

Can anyone tell me whether these would be a vast improvement or would i need to spend a bit more to see a noticable difference?

You must have a fake Sony, they are Japanese quality, premium audio!

I have these, says "Made in the UK" on the back! Now a quick look at the back of my Sony sound bar and its actually made in China! :P

Cold, steer clear of unknown brands like this and Onkyo (ah that joke takes me back).

Just kidding, I bought these a few years ago and they're great speakers for the price. Hot!

​My bad. Thought this was one of the weekly deals where they will order in stock. This is a clear out of limited stock. Still a good deal of you can get it.

400 miles round trip? Probably not a great idea.

I bought these along with a DENON AVRX520BT from Richer Sounds just after Xmas, and have it all linked up to a projector. This is my first surround sound set up being used in a 16 feet by 14 feet space. The sound is awesome and has made watching movies at home a true Cinema experience. At this price I would thoroughly recommend the speakers, they really feel like good quality to when you take them out of the box, have a heavy feel that makes you believe them to be well made.

I got these speakers for £199 a couple of years ago and they've been absolutely brilliant for that money nevermind at this price. Get them bought even if they are 200 miles away!

I bought these for £199 a few years ago and they've been absolutely brilliant for that price nevermind this latest price. Very surprisingly good quality build and sound. Better than the likes of Sony and Samsung who can't make decent speakers. Get some bought even if they're 200 miles away!

Just talking doo doo i would ignore. I think it's a ongoing joke on here.

Don't trust the likes of the BBC, they tell lies, and Wikipedia can be edited by anyone

Tannoy are a cheap chinese knock off brand, just like Onkyo, they just stole their brand name from Public address systems we use in the uk.

They also skin pigs to make the speaker cones.

You need to read more and stop talking tripe. Tannoy British made, owned by Music Group, production moving to China very soon. Some people......

Damn, I just got hold of some speakers - I've got a £20 Richer Sounds voucher that it looks like I'm never gonna get to use!

This is what l thought to.

I looked at these but thought they looked dated, and as though they have a webcam built into the top of them!

I went for the Tannoy TFX 5.1, and can vouch for them, they're excellent!

​I'd second that. paid £100 for the sub alone a couple of years back which is worth every penny. Can't comment on the speakers though. Worth phoning the store in advance as they can normally order them in.

good speakers set up and good price, i have had these in the past and sounded good, now have some Cantons which sound better, just my preference.

Good deal for cheap 5.1 Considering the active sub sells for £99 by itself normally!

You need to do some googling of facts, I believe the massive Chinese firm onkyo, bought tannoy, and use the name to sell cheap audio. Safer with a Sony!

Been using these for the last 4 years, excellent speakers. You will not regret it.

Quality brand speakers. These have been around a while but renowned to be very good by many audiophiles.

Make sure they have all bits in stock before you drive to get them, just driven a 25 mile round trip to Reading for them not to have the sub...

Why?

​Still half asleep lol but yeah

The troll got you :smiley:

I've got these. Brilliant speakers. Good deal to be snapped up. Hot

Walk away. Here in Loughborough you can get a premium brand like Sony, Samsung, Philips for a bit more. Then you know what you are getting unlike this cheap Chinese knock off.

I have these, great entry level speakers that were recently twice this price

Ok as entry level speakers, but I got Sony ones for a similar price, much better quality. So you can get premium manufacturers for this money.

make some effort?
taking into account their size and power, what other speakers would you recommend that have a similar footprint and power capability?

More effort, meaning better speakers?

Blimey I bought a set of these over ten years ago for about £120
They must of found some old stock from somewhere

Awesome deal

Nearest are 200 miles away, wife will doubtless be pleased to find out!

Would these be better than kef 1001 and 3001

I had these, very good speakers, punchy active sub. I've upgraded since but I kept them incase I have a second room in need.

Are they wireless or do you need to channel out walls, or hide behind coving?

I've got these - definitely worth the money.

also have the
Pioneer S-HS100

just look a little nicer, dont know about sound difference though

Active sub too, nice find, but thankfully non in my area.

Sobbing and happy at the same time :/

Good deal, if you can find them :smile:
