In 1967, as the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” soared to the UK Top 10, Tannoy unveiled the legendary III LZ (Monitor Red) loudspeaker. This innovative speaker featured a 10” Dual Concentric transducer designed specifically for small enclosures, delivering the warmth and clarity of its larger 12” and 15” counterparts. Today, Tannoy introduces a modern homage to this classic: the STIRLING III LZ SPECIAL EDITION 2 Way Floorstanding 10″ Dual Concentric HiFi Loudspeaker in Oiled Walnut.
A Modern Tribute
The STIRLING III LZ is more than just a tribute to its predecessor; it redefines the listening experience with a wide-frequency response and deep bass extension that offers natural imaging at high sound pressure levels (SPLs). Years of acoustic excellence have culminated in this moment, allowing listeners to experience every boom, breath, and beat with an unparalleled level of clarity and depth.
Faithfully Preserving a Legacy
Every design element essential to the STIRLING III LZ’s breathtaking dynamic range and clarity of sound has been meticulously preserved. This new iteration benefits from advancements in driver and electronic component technology, ensuring that it meets contemporary audiophile standards. Each cabinet is handcrafted by skilled artisans, reflecting Tannoy’s commitment to excellence.
Versatile Listening Experience
Whether you revel in orchestral music, rock, pop, blues, or soul, the STIRLING III LZ SPECIAL EDITION will elevate your experience. Its capabilities extend to jazz, R’n’B, heavy metal, and everything in between, generating goosebumps with its remarkable sound quality.
Dual Concentric Precision
Tannoy pioneered the dual concentric speaker design in 1947, continuously refining it over the decades. The STIRLING III LZ represents the latest evolution of this acclaimed design, known for delivering class-leading coherence and point-source imaging. With its Pepperpot Waveguide and Alnico motor system, the STIRLING III LZ achieves breathtaking dynamics and powerful transient response. The combination of an aluminium-magnesium diaphragm and Mylar surround compression driver ensures studio-quality tones and perfectly balanced sound pressure in all directions.
Tailored to Your Environment
Recognizing that loudspeakers perform within living spaces, the STIRLING III LZ features a front-mounted 2-band energy control panel. This allows users to selectively boost or cut high frequencies to suit their room acoustics or personal preferences. Tannoy’s customized binding posts enhance signal transmission integrity, while an additional binding post reduces RF interference, resulting in improved mid-range clarity.
Artisan Enclosure Design
The enclosure of the STIRLING III LZ pays homage to the original III LZ design while incorporating modern high-density materials. This ensures extreme rigidity, controlling low-frequency performance and featuring extensive bracing with Differential Materials Technology (DMT) for optimal driver coupling. The result is a divine sound experience that seamlessly integrates into any room’s aesthetics.
A Heritage that Lives On
The Tannoy Heritage continues with the STIRLING III LZ SPECIAL EDITION Floor-Standing Hi-Fi Loudspeaker. This lineage has weathered the test of time and evolved alongside technological advancements. Each speaker comes with an owner’s care package and a Birth Certificate, celebrating its authenticity and craftsmanship.
