Was ist der Unterschied zur Tannoy Stirling GR?

Gleiche Gehäusegrösse, anderer Treiber: Die Special Edition bekommt den Alnico-Antrieb mit PepperPot-Waveguide, die Stirling GR arbeitet mit Ferrit und Tulip-Waveguide. Das Ergebnis ist mehr Feindynamik und ein freierer Mittelton – gegen einen deutlichen Aufpreis.

Kann die Stirling III LZ SE in einer Ecke stehen?

Ja, das ist einer ihrer Vorzüge. Die Reflexöffnungen sitzen vorne, deshalb verträgt sie wandnahe und Eck-Aufstellung deutlich besser als klassische Bassreflexboxen. Etwas Feinjustage am Hochtonregler holt den Rest heraus – wir machen das mit dir vor Ort.

Welcher Verstärker passt zur Stirling III LZ SE?

93 dB an 8 Ohm sind unkompliziert: 20 bis 100 saubere Watt reichen, Röhren mit genügend Kontrolle passen hervorragend. Der Alnico-Treiber dankt gute Elektronik sofort. Sag uns dein Setup, wir sagen dir ehrlich, ob es harmoniert.

Ist die Stirling III LZ SE ein reiner Sammlerlautsprecher?

Nein. Optik und Name sind eine Hommage, die Technik ist aktuell: neue Membranmaterialien, kryogen behandelte Bauteile, moderne Gehäusekonstruktion. Sie ist zum Hören gebaut, nicht zum Ausstellen – auch wenn sie das ebenfalls gut kann.

The Tannoy Stirling III LZ Special Edition is a 2-way floorstanding speaker with a 10-inch Dual Concentric driver, Alnico motor, and PepperPot waveguide – a reinterpretation of the 1967 III LZ.

It's a homage, not a copy: the cabinet follows the original's proportions, but uses high-density materials that simply didn't exist in the sixties. The result is a speaker that looks like the past and plays like today.

Why the Stirling III LZ Special Edition?

Because the Alnico motor, combined with the PepperPot tweeter horn, produces a fine dynamic quality that the simpler ferrite variants lack. Transients start more cleanly, decay is shorter, the midrange feels freer. The Speaker Shack awarded it the Editor's Choice Award in their 2024 review – and placed it, sonically, in their personal top tier.

What you hear

A soundscape that sounds like an instrument, not a reproduction. An upright bass reveals finger movement on the strings, a piano reveals touch, a trumpet reveals breath. The front-firing reflex ports also allow near-wall or corner placement without the bass walling in the soundstage – a solid advantage in real apartments.

Who is the Stirling III LZ SE for?

For medium-sized rooms, for jazz, classical, blues, rock – and for anyone who wants a speaker that also works as a piece of furniture. Plain talk: it's a special edition, not a bargain. If you want the same basic character for less, you'll find it in the Stirling GR. The Alnico motor costs money, and whether it's worth it to you is your call, not ours.

Our verdict

The Stirling III LZ Special Edition is one of the few retro speakers where the retro isn't an excuse for missing technology. It sounds free, colourful, and surprisingly modern – and it does so in a format that fits your living room. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll give you an honest positioning between the Stirling GR and the Turnberry GR.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference from the Tannoy Stirling GR?

Same cabinet size, different driver: the Special Edition gets the Alnico motor with PepperPot waveguide, the Stirling GR works with ferrite and a Tulip waveguide. The result is more fine dynamics and a freer midrange – for a noticeable premium.

Can the Stirling III LZ SE be placed in a corner?

Yes, that's one of its strengths. The reflex ports sit at the front, so it tolerates near-wall and corner placement noticeably better than classic bass reflex speakers. A bit of fine-tuning on the treble control brings out the rest – we'll do that with you on site.

Which amplifier suits the Stirling III LZ SE?

93 dB at 8 ohms is uncomplicated: 20 to 100 clean watts is enough, and tubes with sufficient control fit excellently. The Alnico driver rewards good electronics immediately. Tell us your setup, we'll tell you honestly whether it works.

Is the Stirling III LZ SE a pure collector's speaker?

No. The looks and name are a homage, the technology is current: new cone materials, cryogenically treated components, modern cabinet construction. It's built to be listened to, not displayed – even though it does that well too.
