Tannoy Wood Wax Experience?
I obtained a pair of Turnberry GL a few months ago and am really enjoying the sound.
The speakers came with a tin of wood wax. I am considering using it soon. Has anyone used the Tannoy supplied wood wax and how did it come out? Any tips on the best way to apply this? |

Did my Canterbury SE a few times, and now GR once - it's due again! It works great; gives it a nice subtle sheen and helps darken them. I have no experience with being handy at anything, lol.
I probably used half the GR wax tin on the first application. Need to get more. I find that a good soft white cotton t-shirt works well (toss it afterwards). Tannoy used to include white muslin cloths but the t-shirt works so much better. Just use to to swipe a dab from the tin and get to buffing. Enjoy! I love the smell too, which will linger a few days. My Canterbury GR came new out of the box pretty dry and blonde (much darker now, 1.5 years later), so I think it's a good idea to get the first wax in ASAP. The great thing about these Tannoys is that the Walnut's beauty increases with age. Last edited by mulveling; 01-25-2019 at 01:28 PM. |

Congratulations on your new Tannoy's! I have Tannoy Canterbury GR and have waxed mine a couple of times since I bought them. They look fantastic after waxing. Absolutely beautiful wood and finish that looks richer each time you wax them.
I just apply it like any wax and wipe it off with a clean microfiber cloth. I started on one of the sides the first time to get a feel for it but quickly discovered it's just wood wax so proceeded to do each speaker a section at a time. The wax has a pleasing smell so your room smells fresh after you finish and the music sounds better.
