Hello, 

I am hoping that I may be able to get some information or help with a project I am working on. I am wanting to build a set of cornetta cabinets for my 10" gold drivers. They are currently housed in the original 3lz cabinets, however there is literally no information or sources for different design cabinets for these drivers.

I was hoping that I could contact tannoy directly via email to someone who may be able to share archive information, but this seems the only route! 

I believe that larger, ported or folded horn, cabinets will benefit these drivers and I would like to use a design that has been tried and tested. Hence I would love to bring a set of cornettas to life.

These will eventually be used as part of an audiophile Soundsystem in a small public listening space, so to have something extra special is needed. 

Crossovers will be designed and built to suit the design. 

Any information or archive plans showing the internal details and spec of the original cornettas would be very much appreciated. 

Or if it would be possible to continue this discussion via email with someone at tannoy who may be able to help? I can explain in further detail the plans for what is being put together and the space these will be used in and how they will be used. 

The rest of the system will also include sets of hpd 385 drivers, so vintage tannoy will be in heavy use!

Thank you very much

Sam

Re: Case CAS-466240-T5N7P2

I sent in a Tannoy Gold 8 studio monitor to be repaired since it was still under warranty.  I sent the speaker into the repair center on June 29 and I received notification that it arrived on July 14.  The only communication I have gotten since then was on September 13 which stated:

Your unit has been evaluated and parts have been ordered. We currently do not have the parts in stock and they have been placed on back order. I do not have an ETA at this time.

Is there a reason that a repair should take this long? Why not just send a replacement since the monitor was still under warranty?

I would appreciate some clarification and some action since having one expensive monitor sitting in my studio does me little good.

Thank You

Jeffrey

Would you like to know if there is a wall bracket for the type in the item? Unfortunately I looked anywhere on the net but so far I haven't found it. Thanks for the help

I play digital piano at home ( just cocktail piano- no singing). I have an excellent and very critical ear for music. I play high quality sampled or modelled pianos. My setup at home gives me the perfect sound I need into my Bose headphones. I also play organ, and need some speakers which can reproduce the organ pedal frequency ( down to about 40 hertz).  I would like a pair of speakers to hear the Rotary speaker effect of the organ Leslie simulator.

Task: I want to play some occasional gigs in pubs/ coffee bars ( maybe only 6 per year). Instead of buying a set of speakers for home and a small P.A. Setup for small gig work, I am considering using Tannoy Reveal 802 Monitors for both jobs to get value for money.

The case For: Reveal 802 have 100w power each, and for background piano, I think about 30watts should be fine. So they would not be stressed at all. They have excellent reviews for good bass response without a sub, so should give a rich sound for piano lower keys or organ pedals.

So has anybody else tried this?
