{"product_id":"tannoy-prestige-grf-standlautsprecher","title":"Tannoy Prestige GRF Floorstanding Speakers, Walnut (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tannoy Prestige GRF is a 2-way floorstanding speaker from the Gold Reference series, featuring a 12-inch Alnico-driven Dual Concentric driver in a hand-crafted cabinet of oiled walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the production version of the GRF-90, the limited anniversary edition that sold out faster than Tannoy could rebuild it. Same parts, same driver – just permanently in the range this time. 99 kilos per speaker, 1.24 metres tall: this isn't a speaker, it's a piece of furniture with a side job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Prestige GRF?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this 12-incher is perhaps the happiest compromise in the Prestige range: big enough for real authority in the bass, small enough to stay tight and accurate through the midrange. Over 95 dB efficiency and 560 watts peak power handling mean, in everyday terms: you don't need a powerhouse amplifier, you need a good one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast, precise bass and a fluid, open midrange – exactly what the PepperPot waveguide with Alnico motor is meant to deliver. The minimalist, cryogenically treated crossover with ICW ClarityCap MR capacitors keeps the signal path short. You don't hear this as an effect, but as a given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Prestige GRF for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor large rooms, classic interiors, and people looking for something between the Kensington and Canterbury that can do both. Plainly put: 99 kilos and 55 cm of width per speaker is a statement – to your floor, your doors and your household harmony. Anyone who wants the same fundamental character in a more compact form should look at the Kensington GR. And anyone looking for a weekend gadget is fundamentally in the wrong place here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GRF is the Prestige insider tip: seen less often than the Turnberry or Kensington, but technically in the top league – and equipped with the 12-inch coax that many consider the most balanced in the series. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we plan the room, delivery and electronics with you before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-way floorstanding speaker, bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 12-inch (300 mm) Gold Reference Dual Concentric with Alnico motor system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble: 2-inch compression driver, aluminium-magnesium diaphragm with Mylar surround, PepperPot waveguide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 24 Hz – 27 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 95 dB\/watt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling: 560 W peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover frequency: 1.1 kHz, bi-wired passive crossover, cryogenically treated, ICW ClarityCap MR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: ±3 dB shelving over 1.1 – 27 kHz, slope +2 to −6 dB\/octave from 5 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: WBT NextGen bi-wiring terminals, fifth pole for grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet: high-density birch plywood, DMT bracing, hand-crafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: oiled walnut veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 550 × 1240 × 465 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 99 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: bi-wire bridges, Prestige wood wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich amplifier suits the Tannoy Prestige GRF?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith over 95 dB efficiency into a forgiving 8 ohms, it's undemanding: 20 to 100 clean watts are enough for most rooms, and high-quality tube amps suit it superbly. What matters is tonal quality and freedom from noise, not the wattage. We'll assess your setup honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrestige GRF or Kensington GR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GRF has the larger 12-inch coax, more volume and more depth, but needs considerably more space and floor. The Kensington is slimmer and more living-room-friendly. If your room allows for it, the GRF is the more commanding speaker – otherwise not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big does the room need to be for the Prestige GRF?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealistically from about 35 m² upward, with enough listening distance and space behind the speakers. It can play quietly too, but it wants to breathe. In rooms that are too small, the bass crushes the soundstage – we'd rather tell you that beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Prestige GRF delivered?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 99 kilos per speaker, we organize delivery and on-site setup and clarify access, stairs and floor load capacity beforehand. Our technician Mauri then sets the speakers up in the room afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Tannoy Prestige GRF from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause with a speaker of this scale, planning matters more than the purchase itself: room, structural load, delivery, electronics. We accompany the whole process from start to finish, deliver, install, and stay reachable with our own technician.
