{"product_id":"tannoystirlinggr","title":"Tannoy Stirling GR Floorstanding Speaker, Walnut (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Stirling GR?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Stirling GR for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-way floorstanding speaker, Distributed Port System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 10-inch (250 mm) Dual Concentric, paper cone with double-cloth surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: aluminium-magnesium dome in Tulip waveguide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 39 Hz – 25 kHz (–6 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 91 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling: 340 W peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended amplifier power: 30 – 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover: low-loss inductors, close-tolerance wire-wound resistors, high-quality capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: gold-plated bi-wiring terminals, fifth post for grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet volume: 85 litres, high-density chipboard, DMT bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: oiled walnut veneer with inlays, metal trim strips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 397 × 850 × 368 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 23 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: bi-wire jumpers, Prestige wood wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a tube amplifier suit the Tannoy Stirling GR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStirling GR or Turnberry GR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much wall distance does the Stirling GR need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrom what room size does the Stirling GR make sense?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Tannoy Stirling GR at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause especially at this Prestige entry point, the electronics decide whether the whole thing sparkles or stays merely well-behaved – and we know from seasoned practice which combinations carry it.
