Tannoy-style large unit (8''-15") passive speakers that measure well?

[tokyo_blues]

Any options that can be easily auditioned in the EU?

I know that Fyne Audio and Tannoy still make a "vintage" line but they're UK based and have few distributors in Germany and the Netherlands.

Altec and Klipsch would be nice but again mostly US based.

Thanks.

Nobody?

Are big units deemed just not that good or not that interesting by modern speaker designers anymore?

is Mo-Fi available? They have nice 8” and 10” coaxes.

I use several pairs of Tannoy T12s/V12s. They were made 25 years ago and may be available where you are second hand. They are made for pro use in small venues but work very well as hifi speakers too. I think that they sound very good indeed and are incredibly good value. (Average price here in the UK is £300 - £400/pair). They are designed for use with subs, but will play down to 40Hz with a bit EQ. The Tannoy TDX-1 is a good simple option.

Manuals attached.

Thank you. It would appear they are.

Those Mo-Fi source point 10 are appealing. What's the consensus on them?

Pretty good:

Heco Direkt Premium

Als vor gut 10 Jahren Heco mit der „Direkt“-Serie an den Start ging, war das für mich in vielerlei Hinsicht ein Aha-Erlebnis – vor allem die erfrischende Kombination aus Tradition und Moderne hatte es mir angetan. Und daran hat sich bis heute nichts geändert
