{"product_id":"tannoysgm15","title":"Tannoy SGM 15 Floorstanding Speaker, Walnut (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tannoy SGM 15 is the largest 2-way floorstanding speaker in the Super Gold Monitor series, carrying a 15-inch Dual Concentric driver in a 50-kilo walnut cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the modern answer to what happens when you don't shrink a studio monitor, but let it be what it wants to be. A 38-centimetre cone, 93 dB efficiency, and a frequency response starting at 35 Hz – these are numbers from an era when speakers were still allowed to take up space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the SGM 15?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause cone area can only be replaced by more cone area. The big coax moves air without effort – and that's exactly where this effortlessness comes from, the quality small drivers lack at every dynamic peak. On top of that comes a 3-band energy control system: you set treble roll-off, treble energy, and presence energy with a switch to suit your room, instead of remodelling the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig dynamics without aggression. Drums get attack, orchestras get scale, and a bass solo sounds like an instrument rather than an effect. Because tweeter and woofer sit on one axis, the imaging stays stable off-centre too – in everyday use, the most important advantage of this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SGM 15 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor large rooms, for studios, and for listeners who appreciate understatement. Plain talk: 65 cm wide, 1.03 metres tall, and 50 kilos apiece – that's an investment in space, not just money. In an 18 m² room you'd be fighting it rather than working with it. In that case the SGM 12 is the more sensible choice, and we'll tell you so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGM 15 isn't a speaker for background listening. It's a tool and a pleasure at once – and in the right room, one of the most effortless ways to listen to music there currently is. Before you invest here, we'll take an honest look at your room together at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-way floorstanding speaker, triple Distributed Port (front-firing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 15-inch (380 mm) Dual Concentric, paper pulp cone, 52 mm voice coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 33 mm aluminium-magnesium alloy dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 35 Hz – 30 kHz (±6 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 93 dB (1 W \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling: 150 W continuous \/ 600 W peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended amplifier power: 20 – 300 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover frequency: 1.1 kHz, bi-wired, hard-wired passive crossover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 3-band energy control system (treble roll-off, treble energy, presence energy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: 5 × 4 mm 24-carat Tannoy binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet: 19 mm chipboard\/MDF with plywood internal bracing, heavily damped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: walnut veneer, acoustically transparent nylon grille cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 650.2 × 1033.5 × 424.9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 50 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: bi-wire jumpers, Tannoy wood wax, adjustable feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big does the room need to be for the Tannoy SGM 15?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealistically from around 30 m², with at least 3 metres of listening distance. The 15-incher only unfolds properly with air around it. In smaller rooms it crowds the soundstage – then the SGM 12 is the better decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the SGM 15?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e93 dB at 8 ohms is undemanding: 30 to 150 clean watts is enough for almost every situation, even from a powerful tube amp. More important than power is an amplifier that keeps the large bass driver under control. We'll give your dream setup an honest assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the three controls on the front for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey control treble roll-off, treble energy, and presence energy. This lets you adapt the speaker to reverberant or heavily damped rooms without a tone control in the chain. It's the most effective lever against typical room problems – we'll set it together during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the SGM 15 also suitable for home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can certainly handle level and dynamics. For pure home cinema, though, it's overqualified and needs a matching centre and surround setup. As the front of a music-oriented system, it works brilliantly. We'll plan that with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Tannoy SGM 15 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause at 50 kilos per speaker, nobody wants to reposition it twice – we deliver, set it up, adjust the controls, and honestly check beforehand whether your room can carry it.
