Tannoy Legacy Cheviot Speakers (Pair) is the smallest floorstanding model in the Legacy Series, sitting in between the Eaton and Arden designs. Like its brothers, the model pays homage to Tannoy’s much-loved HPD models from the 1970’s which set the standard for bringing studio sound quality into the home.
The Legacy range sits just below the Prestige range, and showcases a nod to the original Legacy series. The Cheviot enjoys added details such as a 12-inch driver and two band energy control with boost and accentuation control to fine-tune the speakers to their environment.
Legacy Rebooted
Hi-Fi fans have long loved the original HPD series of loudspeakers from 1974 thanks to their warm, tangible sound quality. Tannoy's new Legacy collection lovingly recreates the visual aesthetic of its predecessor, which will instantly stir nostalgic feelings in Tannoy enthusiasts while attracting a new generation of fans.
Exquisite Handcraftsmanship
The brand new Legacy Series celebrates Tannoy’s respected history. Intricately handcrafted in the brand's Scotland base, every detail of the Cheviot is tested according to Tannoy's precise quality standards.
Key Improvements
The Cheviot draws inspiration from the original series. There is a number of key improvements to be enjoyed, mainly involving the trim panels, terminals, the removal of the dust cap from the transducers and the switches. You can expect an immaculate and powerful sound performance thanks to the Tannoy's emblematic large dual concentric drivers.
