The Tannoy Stirling is a compact, high-performance floorstanding loudspeaker built around Tannoy's unique 10-inch ribbon-wound Tulip Waveguide twin-magnet Dual Concentric driver housed in a rigid high-pressure die-cast frame. It offers high sensitivity, excellent power handling, and pure musical pleasure. The cabinet is crafted from solid walnut with hand-laid cork and solid walnut edgings, finished with an oatmeal effect cloth grille held by a lock and key. The speaker features gold-plated terminals supporting bi-wire or normal wiring and a hard-wired, time-compensated crossover network using Van den Hul wiring for precision stereo sound. It provides both low-frequency (below 100 Hz) and high-frequency (above 1.2 kHz) adjustments via a high-current gold-plated switch block and Tannoy's Variable Distributed Port System (VDPS), allowing tailored sound for any music type and room. The Stirling is recommended for amplifiers from 30 to 150 watts per channel and has a frequency response of 35 Hz to 25 kHz ±3 dB. Dimensions are 700 x 486 x 310 mm, weighing 22 kg, with a cabinet volume of 68 liters. It is a classic example of Tannoy's craftsmanship and acoustic engineering, offering detailed sound with precision stereo imaging and a luxurious finish.
