AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tannoy Mercury V1 from 2013 modified by hand to improve harmonic richness and sensitivity with horns made of birch plywood laminate and the bass driver rebuilt internally to increase the low-frequency response.
All components are original Tannoy Mercury V1 except the RCA pins changed to a higher-end model (gold version) and the feet not present in the original version.
The horns have an external diameter of 14 cm and a depth of 17 cm, machined on a lathe.
The total height of the cabinets with the feet is 63 cm.
The original pre-modification specifications were as follows:
Power (amplifier) recommended from 10 to 70 Watts RMS
Peak 100 Watts and 50 Watts in continuous RMS
Sensitivity 2.83 volts at 1 meter, 86 dB
Impedance 8 ohms
Frequency response (-6 dB) 45 Hz - 25 kHz
Tweeter: 25 mm polyester dome with neodymium magnet
Woofer: 130 mm cone clad in shielded multifiber
Crossover: Linkwitz-Riley 4th order
The cabinets were clad after the modifications with matte red adhesive film and the front panel in suede leather in Sonos Faber style. The front panel is MDF as are the rest of the external panels of the cabinets.
The sound is decidedly better than the original specifications.
