The Tannoy Stirling GR is the most compact 2-way floorstanding speaker in the Prestige Gold Reference series, carrying a 10-inch Dual Concentric driver in an 85-litre oiled walnut cabinet.
It's the entry point into the Prestige world – and the only place in this series where "entry-level" doesn't sound like a compromise. Handcrafted cabinet, inlays, wood wax included: Tannoy doesn't do things by halves, even with its smallest model.
Why the Stirling GR?
Because it brings the big Tannoy sound into a format that fits a normal Swiss living room. 85 cm tall, 40 cm wide, 23 kilos – that's manageable. The Dual Concentric driver forms a true point source, the Tulip waveguide provides symmetrical dispersion, and 91 dB efficiency makes it uncomplicated for amplifier matching.
What you hear
A soundstage that pulls you into the music instead of performing it for you. Voices sit centred and full-bodied, piano and brass get bite. The bass reaches surprisingly deep for the cabinet's size – the front-mounted Distributed Port System also keeps it pleasantly forgiving when it comes to placement.
Who is the Stirling GR for?
For medium-sized rooms from around 18 m², for vinyl, jazz, classical, and voices – and for tube amplifiers. Plain talk: if you mostly want to blast modern rock, metal, or electronic music, go for the Turnberry instead. The Stirling is a fine-detail artist, not a battering ram. And for a very small room, it's still a floorstander, whatever else you do.
Our verdict
The Stirling GR is the best proof that the Prestige series isn't a pure status symbol. It delivers character, efficiency, and craftsmanship at a price where many mass-produced floorstanders haven't seen a human hand yet. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll help you find the right amplifier to go with it – here, it's especially worth the effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a tube amplifier suit the Tannoy Stirling GR?
Very much so. 91 dB efficiency at an easygoing 8 ohms is practically made for tubes with 20 to 50 watts. A good transistor amp works just as well, of course. Which direction suits your taste is best clarified in conversation.
Stirling GR or Turnberry GR?
The Stirling is more compact, more detailed, and fits smaller rooms. The Turnberry is bigger, more powerful, and the better choice for loud, modern music or large rooms. Both use the 10-inch coax. We'll help you weigh it up honestly – even if the cheaper one wins.
How much wall distance does the Stirling GR need?
Thanks to its front-firing reflex ports, it can sit closer to the wall than most floorstanders. 20 to 40 cm is a good starting point. Pushed right against the wall, the low end gets thick – you adjust the rest with the treble control.
From what room size does the Stirling GR make sense?
From around 18 m² it plays in a balanced way, staying in command up to about 30 m². In very large rooms, we'd rather recommend the Turnberry or Kensington. We're happy to give your room a concrete assessment.
