Tannoy Sixes 605 II Bookshelf / Standmount Speakers made in UK

Full working order.

Generally good clean condition with some light surface marks to the cabinets and some small holes in the grill cloth.

Review from the net:

I have 2 pairs of these little monsters - they are completely awesome and for my money, the best speakers for the cost, even today 
(some 20 years after they first appeared). They produce a deceptively huge amount of sound for such small cabinets (90w RMS), they 
have an amazing sweet spot and coupled with decent stands and speaker cables, they are easy and very pleasant to listen to. 
No amount of money would part me from my beloved tannoys

Description :

The Tannoy 605 mk2 is characterized by their hexagonal shape, which the design benefits from a combined braced bass driver and advanced cabinet structure. The unique hexagonal shape is said to cut down internal reflections and tighten up the sound. The crossover networks are hardwired and made up from the finest quality electronic components including iron-dust core inductors and polypropylene capacitors. These are carefully positioned well away from the drive units to minimize the magnetic and electrical effects. The comprehensive internal bracing in Tannoy 605 mk2 is used on the crowns and bases, drivers and cabinet walls via lossy couplings into a comprehensive energy controlling structure, reducing cabinet derived colourations.



The bass unit is constructed with precision built rigid frames using large magnets to ensure high sensitivity and low frequency control. The chassis of Tannoy 605 mk2 is fitted with an anti-diffraction ring to ensure an output unhindered by the drive unit chassis. State of the art injection moulded cone-pistons are used with a carefully chosen profile and flare, and include and inverted dust cap optimized to produce the most neutral and natural midrange from the Tannoy 605 mk2. The aluminum tweeter is mounted in a minimum diffraction face plate which blends smoothly into the front baffle. The dome is attached to a high temperature polyamide insulated coil wound onto a Kapton former. This is cooled and damped by the use of a magnetic fluid. A nitrile rubber surround is chosen for the suspension because of its good self-damping non-variable temperature properties. Very careful and subtle design has produced a tweeter capable of smoothly reproducing up to 30kHz. The dome itself is protected by a metal grille which is easily removed for maximum performance or
retained in situations where the damage to the dome might occus



The Tannoy 605 mk2 has a rich bass, yet it is not slow in its pacing. It has an outstanding bass extension that seamlessly integrates with the mid range and high frequencies. The music is reproduced in a lifelike manner, producing a tangible soundstage that animates the performance, and can be listened for hours on end without inviting earache. The Tannoy 605 mk2 is a technically accomplished product with outstanding construction
that help listeners to archive true hi-fi sound reproduction
