Tannoy Glenair 15?

I have the opportunity to pick up these speakers at a really good price. I am hoping to get an audition at a dealer in the next week or so, but interested in hearing feedback from owners or those who have had the opportunity to hear them in a home environment. I would be going from Totem Forests which although they employ much smaller bass drivers have effective punch and bass slam. I will run them with a PASS X-250.

Thanks for your reply Mulveling. I'm really having trouble rounding up a pair to audition around Toronto. At the same time, at the price available there's not much risk if i dont love them. I may pull the trigger in the next couple of months. At the same time I dont 'unlove' the Forests, they really get along well with the beastly amp, rarely ever get out of the class A zone.

You go to a dealer to audition knowing you are not going to buy? Is that fair?

Buy them. You can't go wrong with Tannoy 15" DC.

My friend owns these and I have spent lots of time with them being fed by small tube amps to pure class A Pass Lab room heater mono blocks. They do sound great and can be listened to longer than many speakers with no fatigue especially at louder levels. I do think they need a super tweeter and always have no matter the amps used. Great speaker! My bud eventually did add a Zu sub and wow they went up a level with that slam! You need 50w Min SS from my experience and 25w tubes to have enough power to open them up. The Pass Labs run too hot in summer is why I know in detail what other amps sounded like. Cheers
