Well, "Tannoy" goes back to around WW2 - I think it was the name of the manufacturer of some of the original PA systems used on warships, airbases and so on (and was embossed in the plastic housing of the speakers).

So any loudspeaker system is still called a tannoy in the UK. I was born way after the war and call them this!
