I am looking for a pair of speakers for my brother, recently came across a pair of Cheviot, don't know much about this, it is gold/paper, cabinet is in mint condition but the driver probably need recone soon, $550US, is it a fair deal?
Thank you

I thought the Cheviot was a foam-surround 12" Gold HPD. I don't remember ever seeing a Cheviot with paper surrounds. Very strange.

$550 is cheap.

The owner told me it is a special order, directly from Tannoy, actually it is cloth surrounding, I wonder is there any way I can get this unit re-cloth or recone, whatever you call?
Thank you
One more question, is cloth even better?

Being extremely biased, since having used these for over 25 years, I'd have to say they're great. I just re-coned mine last year. They are quite efficient, smooth, and entirely non-fatiguing - very "musical" IMO. These concentrics are apparently not often offered for sale, and the price sounds good. Cheviots came stock with foam surrounds, but numerous years ago Tannoy did sell the drivers separately. I don't think they do any more. You will find, if you need new surrounds, that no reputable agent will try to just replace them. Those who know Tannoys know that you must purchase a re-cone kit, which includes new cone, surround, and spider. They cost about US$300 each, and really should be done in pairs. I did mine myself - it's pretty easy. If you need or want more info, I can give you info on a very knowledgeable Tannoy rep in Canada. Everybody referred me to him.
