8 Year Old Tannoy XT6F

[ANINDYAIGCAR]

Ther is a Tannoy XT6F speaker available for sale in my vicinity for 54k. Is it worth purchasing as a secondary speakers . Current setup is NR1200 with RelT5X and QA3050 in a squarish 12x13 room. Really considering the tannoys. What should be a fair price. I hate to lowball a fellow audiophile

Last year some one was offering it for 48k but this particular speaker condition seems better so 50k is good sweet spot.

Very nice speakers though.

Had Tannoy mercury v4. Sold it during Covid times. Still regretting. We’re very good with my Marantz PM6006

I also had owned Tannoy mercury, very nice speakers for the price. XT6F is another league.

Tannoys are great speakers . I still have XT8F , Do a demo to make sure that the speaker can play all the frequencies , especially treble . At this price it seems like a 50% discount from its original MRP . Not a bad deal

Tannoy created the Revolution XT/XTF series to bring their dual-concentric (point-source) design into a more modern, affordable, and living-room-friendly format. The goal was to keep that signature coherence and imaging, but with slimmer cabinets and a cleaner, more contemporary sound than their older “vintage” voicing. After Music Tribe streamlined the lineup, the XT range was phased out as Tannoy refocused on clearer product directions based on their priorities. These were really nice speakers at their price points. For all you know, it may even beat that Q Acoustics 3050 you already have.

I got XT8F in 2016 and was in use till 2023 paired with Marantz PM11S2 . I have other speakers but nothing beats XT8F in soundstage . I have not sold it , because somewhere I knew that these new speakers at the price point they are available will not be able to match XT8F and maybe I will have to spend upwards of 7 to 8 lacs to get that SQ .

I will be very surprised if these do not end up replacing your QA3050 in the main setup in the near future.
Once you love Tannoys, it can be difficult to love something else with the same fondness, ask people who own Tannoy Turnberry and the likes.

If it was me, I would buy it pronto. And if you wish to buy it and sell it to me, I will accept that, lol.

Why don't you try in your setup and then buy ?

If thats a possibility...

Went and brought it today. Looks like I have to upgrade

It is simply couple of notches above QA3050 and kefq350. Picked it up today for 50k in impeccable condition. Now gotta sell the qa3050.

Off topic but since you are where you are, and you do what you do, you are kind of, all Indian engineers' Hero!
