Faithful to the Original

The Stirling III LZ retains every design element crucial to its breathtaking dynamic range, clarity of sound, and classic look. This updated version benefits from advances in driver and electronic component technology. Upholding Tannoy's standard of excellence, each Stirling III LZ loudspeaker cabinet is handcrafted by our skilled artisans. Perfect for orchestral music, rock, pop, blues, or soul, they also excel at delivering goosebumps when you listen to jazz, R&B, heavy metal, or anything in between.

Dual Concentric Precision

Tannoy invented the Dual Concentric speaker design in 1947, and it has been continuously refined over the decades. The Stirling III LZ Special Edition features the latest incarnation of this acclaimed design, providing class-leading coherence and point-source imaging for a truly natural sound. With its Pepperpot Waveguide and Alnico motor system, the Stirling III LZ offers breathtaking dynamics, powerful transient response, and unparalleled realism across a wide frequency range with minimal coloration. The aluminum-magnesium diaphragm and Mylar surround compression driver deliver studio-quality tones and perfectly balanced sound pressures in all directions.

Outstanding Components are Just the Starting Point

Recognising that loudspeakers perform in your living space, a front-mounted 2-band energy control panel allows you to adjust high frequencies to fit your room or personal taste. The Stirling III LZ also features customised Tannoy binding posts for optimal signal transmission and integrity, plus a fifth binding post to reduce RF interference and improve mid-range clarity.

Artisan Enclosure

The enclosure incorporates design characteristics from the original III LZ but uses new high-density materials unavailable in the 1960s. This results in a cabinet with extreme rigidity to control low-frequency performance, featuring extensive bracing with Differential Materials Technology (DMT) for proper driver coupling. While sound quality is paramount, the elegant and natural appearance of these speakers ensures they complement any room's aesthetic.

The Heritage Lives On

Tannoy’s rich heritage continues with the Stirling III LZ SPECIAL EDITION floor-standing hi-fi loudspeaker, a testament to enduring quality and technological adaptation. Each speaker comes with an owner's care package and a Birth Certificate confirming its authenticity. With 90 years of experience in developing and manufacturing some of the world’s finest speakers, the Stirling III LZ Special Edition remains designed and manufactured in the UK, just like the original III LZ. Experience the legacy firsthand.
