As I have described on other pages of this website, my ultimate reference on all subjects pertaining to High Fidelity reproduction was “The Gramophone”. Having finished university, I applied for a medical internship at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and travelled on a road trip from Sydney to Adelaide, carefully nurturing my hi-fi equipment, including, of course, the KEF concerto speakers with their unique, elliptical-shaped bass speaker.
I can’t precisely recall how it is that I developed a fascination with the Tannoy speakers, and it may well have been the combination of my childhood recollection of the Tannoy corner reflex cabinet of the lawyer in Temora, together with this review article in my monthly “Bible reading”!
And so it was in the late 1970s I purchased a pair of Tannoy 15 inch Monitor Gold speakers. They came in kit form, labelled as DU386. The enclosed construction manual was comphrehensive and challenging.
The dimensions of the suggested Arden equivalent gave a calculated cubic volume of 0.2 m. Again, for reasons are not entirely clear to me, some 40 years after the event, I chose slightly different dimensions. The drawings I made for the construction are shown on the Construction Page- click on the link
