Hi Everyone,

When I built my studio last summer, I bought two Tannoy Reveal Active 6.5" Nearfield Monitors. I hooked them up in August, and I turned them on a total of three times. Then when it came time to hook up the rest of the equipment I bought in the winter, I took the cables that were hooked into the monitors and used them elsewhere. So, since January, those monitors have been sitting there, not even plugged in. I don't think I'm gonna use them... I listen to everything thru my headphones.

So....... they're for sale!!

Hi Caryn,

I am in the market for some studio monitors. What model exactly do you have? The Tannoy website lists a bunch of Reveal models.

You know, I googled them when I was posting and found many sites have discontinued them, which leads me to believe they don't make this particular one anymore. Which to me is odd... I just bought them at the end of July.

They are:
Two 6.5" Tannoy Active Real Nearfield Monitors

The technical specs are above. Though I'm not sure if I would call the color "Azure Blue" ... it's more like a greener blue color. But dark.

The on/off switches are in the back (not in the front the like pic of the Reveal 5A pic on their site).

Let me know if I can answer any other questions!! Thanks!!!

If you look on the back of the speaker, there should be a model number right there along with the serial number and probably an ohm rating.

Hi,

I found the same ones on eBay (can tell they're the same from the pic - he added that thing on the top though himself - mine don't have that) -- they're advertised as Tannoy Active Reveal 5 Nearfield Monitors.

The auction still has 4+ days to go... I'll be curious to see what they sell for.

The auction on eBay ended today. The monitors there sold for $427.

I'll be a-listing mine on eBay if I have no takers here. Probably tonight.

Thanks everyone!!!
