This pair of Mercury M1s in rosewood finish comes from the real world of hi-fi. They're working speakers that have seen actual music and real use and still deliver beautifully honest sound.
Built in the UK during a great moment for affordable hi-fi, the M1s were known for their balance, warmth, and exceptional clarity, especially for passive speakers in this form factor.
If you know Tannoy, you know this isn't a soundbar or a gimmick. This speaker rewards listening and pairing with proper amps (they love NAD, Sansui, Yamaha, Rotel, and similar 25 to 50W RMS gear).
Condition:
Cosmetic mark on one driver, it's been there 20+ years, zero impact
Light wear on corners and one seam, touched up.
Covers are not included (they stayed behind in London - long story, real one)
INNER COMPONENTS TESTED, AS NEW. ONE NEW TERMINAL HAS BEEN INSTALLED TO ENSURE NO ISSUES FOR YEARS TO COME
These served as practice monitors for vinyl DJ sets in the late '90s, and even filled in as temp studio monitors on a released dance track.
Sound Profile:
Detailed mids, no harshness
Surprisingly full bass for the size
Excellent at lower volumes, proper room-fillers without pushing the dial
Balanced, natural, non-fatiguing
Perfect for multimedia too
If you're buying this, you probably already know what you're getting. But if not, this is what hi-fi used to be: simple, passive, and musical. A solid amp, a clean source, and these will remind you why you care about sound at all.
