(Relisted because an idiot somehow forgot that he didn't have cabinets before he hit "Buy it Now"). The Tannoy Monitor Royal speaker is, for all intents and purposes, a Monitor HPD series Tannoy - the drive units and crossovers are identical. Apparently, Canadian distributors requested something unique as a marketing strategy, and Tannoy responded with a blue magnet cover in place of the normal buff color cover (the chassis basket remains the same gold color as the HPD series). But the... very limited production for the Canadian market makes the Monitor Royal among the most rare Tannoy speakers of all time. Tannoy's HPD series of dual-concentric speakers consisted of three models: the HPD-295 (10"); the HPD-315 (12"); and the HPD-385 (15"). This listing is for a 12" pair of Monitor Royals in wonderful condition, with fully functional crossovers, just pulled from cabinets too large to ship. They are extremely efficient - I've run them with 1.5 watt per channel 45 tube amps and the sound filled a 14' x 16' room! I have owned and enjoyed these magnificent speakers since 2002 and now must reluctantly send them on their way to a new owner as my wife and I are in downsize-mode. Sorry, no international shipping with this listing. About 40 lbs packed for safe shipment from zip 55073. I ship once a week (assuming payment has been made), on Thursdays. If payment is not received within 5 days of the listing's end, the item will be relisted and eBay notified of a nonpaying bidder. Check my feedback (I've been buying and selling on eBay since 1999) and deal with confidence.
