Tannoy Chatsworth cabinets
Fitted with the superb 12" Dual-Concentric Monitor Gold
8-ohms with Alnico magnets...beautiful sound. Sweet,open & airy with lovely warm punchy bass.
Roll off & Energy controls.
No cloth,these were my own project & I removed it so they sounded better.
Basically these are made up of different monitor gold components.
Crossovers from early Lancasters. A hole was drilled on the back to allow the cable through & resemble early type 3/LZ or Lancaster. Badges are also from Lancasters.
Monitor Gold drivers & Cabinets are Chatsworth.
The foam on the outer edge which sits between baffle & chassis is gone,but they still fit ok.
Different wadding has been used as the original stuff was a bit flimsy.
Front baffles have been sprayed black & look very smart.
Gold plated 4mm banana sockets fitted to the original cable ends.
Cabinets are very good for age, 1 has a cup/plant pot ring on the top. Solid & heavy with minor dings here & there & 1 ding to a back corner.
These sound sweet & lovely,with nice deep warm bass...
I've used these for my own listening for quite some time now,but I feel the bug to change,which I'll probably regret but hey!
The cabinets got a bit of a polish the other day & they've come up nice,hope the pictures do them justice.
1 dust cover has a few slight ripples but has no effect to the sound,the other dust cover has become part-unglued,this again does not affect the detail but at higher volume rattles,this rattle is just the cover vibrating, NOT the coil!
I think I've covered everything,but please feel free with any questions!
Oh yes, pictures of inside may follow if I get a spare half hour or so.
...yes they are Monitor Gold not HPD! With Tannoplas rubber surround which were fitted to later Lancasters & Chatsworths.
