This package consists of the Tannoy Mercury V4, VC, VR in Sugar Maple and the Tannoy SFX subwoofer in black.
RIGID CABINETS FOR SONIC ACCURACY
Now in its fifth generation, the Tannoy Mercury V range is better than ever. For this version of this budget classic, Tannoy has revised the cabinets making them both larger and better braced. The larger cabinets boost dynamic response and low end vocal response for more natural dialogue. The improved bracing makes the cabinets more rigid, improving the neutrality of sound.
HI-FI QUALITY DRIVE UNITS ALL ROUND
Contained within the cabinets are similarly impressive drive units. The bass cones are lighter and more rigid than before, making the sound faster to respond and the mid-range more detailed. The treble unit has been changed, too, and has been picked for its exceptional accuracy at this price point. New cabinets, woofers and tweeters make for a pretty comprehensive upgrade but Tannoy haven't left it at that. The crossovers have been tweaked and the internal cabling is silver-plated oxygen-free copper; usually the preserve of much more expensive speakers.
POWERFUL BASS
Larger than average, the V4 Mercury front speakers boast a large internal volume for potentially deep and sustained bass. Thanks to the twin, 152mm woofer units this is easily facilitated. With a dedicated bass woofer within each cabinet you'll benefit from a powerful bass - and that's before you take the Tannoy SFX subwoofer into account. With a maximum power output of 100 watts the Tannoy SFX sub certainly isn't short of oomph. Yet, as you'd expect from a brand of such distinction, the sound is always well-controlled and cohesive when matched with the other speakers.
DEDICATED TO HOME CINEMA
Based upon the award-winning Tannoy Mercury V1 but redesigned for dedicated home cinema use, the Tannoy Mercury VR rear speakers offer an ideal compromise between small satellite and full-size speakers. Reconfigured to work directly against a wall and with a depth of just 121.5mm, the Mercury VRs are remarkably unobtrusive. A four-way fixing bracket on the rear of speaker allows for either portrait or landscape mounting. Finally, by inverting the tweeter and woofer, the Mercury VR is ideally suited to rear positioning where speakers are inevitably higher than the fronts. Inverting the drive units brings the tweeter closer to your ears and, hence, makes fine detail easier to distinguish.
PERFECTLY BALANCED SOUND QUALITY
When taken together, all these features add up to a very impressive sounding speaker package. Although dynamic and punchy, as you'd expect from this size of speaker pack, the Tannoy Mercury Cinema Pack is also extremely refined and detailed. There's a level of clarity that you wouldn't usually expect from a speaker package of this size and price.
SUGAR MAPLE FINISH
In addition to raising the game in terms of sound quality, Tannoy also offers superior style to many rivals. Instead of a series of boring black boxes, Tannoy finishes all the speakers in a decor-friendly 'Sugar Maple' with brushed aluminium trim detailing. For a cleaner look, all the speakers come with detachable cloth grilles. The SFX subwoofer is finished in matte black and can easily be hidden out of sight.
Provided you're not concerned about compact sizing, the Tannoy Mercury V4 5.1 delivers probably the best sound in its class - pure and simple.
Google is your friend for plenty for good reviews. (Some reviews are for the individual speakers on there own not as part of the kit)

thanks op
I own a Pioneer VSX-827 and Tannoy TFX 5.1 system. As the amp outputs 7.1 channels I purchased the Tannoy V4 floor standers as my front L/R channels.
In all honesty I thought the sound was impressive just using the 5.1 TFX speakers.
Trust what hifi. They know what they are talking about. They rated the V4 speakers at 5* upto £700. That is what swung it for me when I decided to stump up the cash for them as I was toying with the idea of buying the Roth OLi 40 or the newer Roth OLi RA4.
I paid £299 for the V4's and was astounded at how good they are. So impressed in fact I just paid another £105 for the Tannoy VC centre channel.
The sound is superb. Really.
The speakers are BIG. The VC speaker is more than twice the size of my original TFX centre speaker ! That said, the sound clarity and quality is probably twice that of the TFX speakers as they are a little lacking in the mid range.
At this price though - go for it, you won't be disappointed. I'm a little gutted as its too late for me to return my speakers to grab this deal but then again I didn't want the sugar maple finish in the first place

Same here buddy
Shall we go for it? If yes - we need to say goodbye to HUKD community X)
I was in this same situation and decided that I just need to go for it:)
7 years old Pioneer speaker setup is ancient:)
It looks like you have this same problem as chrisharry12345.
You probably have a passive subwoofer as well in your set.
Read about it in link above posted by: sancheez.
There shouldn't be a major problems - but obviously much safer(and without fiddling around) would be to connect it to proper av receiver, not the one coming from integrated set.
I have the older version, Tannoy Mercury M3 plus a mid Tannoy MXc speaker coupled with a Denon unit. While they sound amazing in 3 or 5 setup, without the middle speaker they aren't that good. No spark without a mid speaker.
The voucher is on the one above in the middle!! It's at the bottom of that Sony Email received mine on Tues 5th November. Like above it contains three vouchers, the cinema package one is the middle of the three vouchers.

I am being a r3tard, for some reason I have posted the voucher and never noticed the middle coupon stating "speaker package"
Here is a link to the email as well for anyone that wants it.

Lol, we all have our moments!

So if you need a good quality amp, save yourself £150
Personally I'm in two minds over the Tannoy speakers and the Q Acoustics 2000i range.
Cicobuff you are a gentleman.
They have honoured the voucher over the phone for me, but with a £28 delivery charge as mentioned by someone earlier.
For £378 (saving me the transport and hassle of visiting a store) I'm pretty happy
thats exactly what I have mate..
They should work fine. I plan to upgrade the amp too when I have the money but as a temporary solution they will be fine.. I asked elsewhere and got this response
and about this sub being active and the other being passive
What I want to know if how much difference to the quality does the amp actually make or is it just the features on offer that differs
In all honesty heard them in Richer Sounds today although didn't actually think at the time to hear 2.1 through them. I'm going back on Saturday to pick mine up if you don't hear them for yourself by then or if someone else replies.
Yeah the floor standers included in this set went hot on there own at £200 mark and look what you get with this for the extra £150.

Anyone know if these would be a little bit overkill for a small apartment living room? :P
Probably. But they perform well at low volume levels if you're the sort that is considerate towards neighbors, but ultimately, overkill would depend on how small your living room is.
Take a look at the dimensions of all those speakers and subwoofer and measure up. Only you can be the judge on what you deem to be overkill.
Im looking for smaller speakers now with decent sound for abour £300-400. The ones I seen in richer sounds are about £650

Sorry - just relised it's just for av receiver:( (edited)
I got an onkyo system from Richer SOunds a few years back via the Hot deals website. It still works brill to this day.
Heat added.
Good job it wasn't my sole point of reference then. It's always good to refer to the AV forums to gather information, reviews and opinions from the owners.
With regards to WHAT HIFI I can't dispute their opinion these. I'm well happy !
I assume you have a story to tell judging by your opinion towards them ?
Which ones did you see ??
It sounds to me like you're looking for a satellite speaker system ?
Hey, I have the V4's and VC in 2.1 (I'm not sure if they are the exact same version as these ones as I bought them about 6 months ago, from a private seller for £20!!) and they are really great, I had some Wharfedales before in 2.1 and the difference was incredible. I think where they really shine is being able to deliver low, hard bass but also powerful, crisp high notes. Makes a big difference when watching a movie; the explosions don't have to be make-the-neighbours-complain loud just to hear what people are saying in other parts of the movie. I do miss having rear speakers though...
