Couldn't load pickup availability
The Tannoy Stirling GR is a 2-way floorstanding speaker from the Prestige Gold Reference series, with a 10-inch Dual Concentric driver in an 85-litre oiled walnut cabinet.
This offer is for our demo unit from the showroom in Wädenswil. It is a one-off (one pair): technically flawless, fully functional and in absolutely immaculate, as-new condition. Instead of CHF 6,399.–, you get the pair for CHF 5,399.–, while stocks last. That is a saving of CHF 1,000.–. The demo unit has no original packaging. We grant 3 months' warranty on this pair. Pick-up in Wädenswil or delivery as usual.
The Stirling GR is 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?
It brings the big Tannoy sound into a format that fits a normal Swiss living room: 85 cm tall, 40 cm wide, 23 kilos per speaker. The Dual Concentric driver forms a true point source, the Tulip waveguide provides symmetrical dispersion. 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 keeps it pleasantly forgiving when it comes to placement.
Who is the Stirling GR suited 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 play modern rock, metal or electronic music loud, go for the Turnberry instead. The Stirling is a fine-detail artist, not a battering ram. And because this is a single demo pair: once it's gone, it's gone.
Our verdict
The Stirling GR is the best proof that the Prestige series isn't a pure status symbol. As a demo unit, you get character, efficiency and craftsmanship at a price you won't see on a new pair. 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
What does "demo unit" mean for this Tannoy Stirling GR?
The pair stood in our showroom in Wädenswil and is a one-off. It's technically flawless, fully functional and as new, but without original packaging. While stocks last.
How long is the warranty on this demo unit?
We grant 3 months' warranty on this pair from the date of purchase. That's shorter than on a new unit, but covers the first months in which technical faults would typically show up.
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.
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.
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. We're happy to give your room a concrete assessment.
