I have a pair of (very rare) original Tannoy
SRM-B/SGM-B 10" Dual-Concentric UPGRADED to an ML-10 with
the Mastering Lab/Doug Sax's custom crossover and Eva Manley's Custom Cabinet upgrade.
These aren't cheap but they are rare. Mine has been a spare monitor in the studio
but I have another set of 15" Tannoys, ATCs and a few other speakers so would like to release this
to a discerning user who can appreciate it.
Works equally well as a studio monitor or for Hi end hifi enthusiast.
See Below Info from Manley about the ML10:
"The Crossover was The Mastering Lab's creation. They had been retro fitting the crossover into little plastic boxes banged on the back of stock Tannoy SRM-B/SGM-B 5/8" ply cabinets before this joint project came to light. Eva Manley designed and built strong and heavily braced new cabinets 15" Wide X 10" Deep X 22" Tall weighing in at 50 lbs. each, and build Doug Sax's crossover into these ML10's with proper production techniques, all with the crossover controls mounted on the front for the first time, and Bi-ampable/Bi-wireable recessed five way binding posts on the back. The dream speaker was born. People really started crying when they all sold out!
The ML10 offered point source localization combined with absolute time alignment, low distortion and phase coherence. Amplifier power of 100 to 200 watts was recommended. Designed to provide the recording engineer with a highly accurate yet musical tool, the ML10 is now a highly sought after collectible. Used, they are selling for much more than the original retail price of $2950.00 USD. We have seen them selling for over $4000/per pair.
So... we (Manley) created the ML 10A follow-up design to "keep the dream alive". We went on with another then-current production Tannoy 10" Dual-Concentric rolled-rubber-surround paper cone driver (7900-0267) #2598 as found in the 1992-1998 Tannoy Stirling hifi model. A new crossover had to be used with the newer driver to compensate for the different balance of woofer to tweeter efficiency in the newer driver. Approximately 50 pairs of ML10A were produced before we decided to discontinue the ML10A project.
But hope does exist!
Yes we do offer to swing YOUR SGM-B/SRM-B 10" drivers into our big beefy ML10 cabinets and install the Mastering Lab Crossovers for $2000 per pair, just like the original ML10. We are currently using a beautiful Lyptus - wood with a medium cherry stain sealed with a hand rubbed waxed finish for the solid wood side panels." (end quote)
