Tannoy Cheviot

Vintage Cheviot cabinets use Tannoy's 12-inch HPD315A Dual Concentric driver. The high-frequency unit sits at the center of the bass and mid driver, creating a design intended to behave more like a point source.

The Cheviot is a British hi-fi speaker associated with Tannoy's 1970s vintage range. A 1976 Hi-Fi Choice test describes its large ported cabinet and 315 mm dual-concentric unit, which is useful when identifying an original pair.

The 1976 specification cited a cabinet about 850 by 450 by 260 mm and a weight around 34.5 kg per speaker. Exact dimensions can vary with cabinet version and restoration, so use the driver badge and rear label as well as measurements.

Check the HPD315A driver, surrounds, crossover, cabinet condition, and whether both speakers match in serial or component revision. A restored pair may sound very different from untouched 1970s units, so ask for close photos and an impedance or sweep test before paying.
