    Tannoy speakers

    Hi Eric. I sold a pair of Tannoy CPA15 in 2018 for R12k, which I think was a bit low at the time. I would say that you could get a bit more for them today, considering what the value of the Rand was in 2018, but more the fact, that they are phenomenal and are extremely rare to find. I still...

    Richard Allen speakers
