The Tannoy Monitor Silver series was released in the early 1950's and produced until around 1958. Distinguishing physical features of this model are:
The Monitor Silver was available as:
Magnet cover and wiring to the speaker, showing the feed to the compression driver diaphragm at the rear. |
"Pepper-pot" phase compensation channels that form the coupling from the HF diaphragm to the horn throat, which is machined into the magnet pole for the LF driver. |
The Silver 15 is visually identical ro the Silver 12 - just having a bigger LF cone (but identical HF horn and diaphragm). A major difference in sound would be apparent between the 12 and 15 though, as the crossover design for the Silver 12 is much more simple. |
