Founded in London in 1926, Tannoy transformed audio history with its pioneering Dual Concentric driver — a design that aligns the tweeter and woofer on a single axis for perfect phase coherence and natural stereo imaging. The result is the unmistakable realism and spatial depth that define Tannoy sound.
Tannoy has been part of many historic moments. Winston Churchill’s wartime speeches were delivered through Tannoy speakers, and Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon was monitored through Tannoy Lancasters at Abbey Road Studios. More than a hi-fi brand, Tannoy represents a true legacy in music history.
The House of Tannoy at Cotton Audio is the world’s only official showroom where Tannoy’s full lineup can be experienced in one place — from Westminster Royal GR and Canterbury GR to Kensington GR, Turnberry GR, Stirling GR, Stirling III LZ, and Autograph Mini GR.
Here, visitors can explore how Tannoy’s technology and sound aesthetics have evolved over the decades — from horn resonance to magnet structure and crossover tuning. Cotton Audio preserves this heritage while refining it for today’s listening environments, presenting the purest form of Tannoy sound.
