Tannoy Prestige Speakers

I audioned Tannoys a few times and everytines was first impressed but than turned off by their wooden, boxy sound and obvious lack of punch, which was way to obvious on hard rock. Please tell me the bigger Prestige models don't suffer from that!

Antonkk-
I could not disagree with you more ...

I recently heard a pair of Yorkminsters driven by an Almarro 318b.
Probably as good as anything I have heard.
Not especially "audiophile" [thank goodness].They just cut straight to the soul of the music.
As a reviewer on Audio Review said-I just melt on the sofa.

Speakers for both music players and music lovers.
They transcend "hi fi".

Did they do well on rock?

I'm worried about 2 things with Canterbury - can they play FAST and punchy when it's needed and that boxy wooden sound that I heard with every Tannoy before. I'm sure they will sound huge and musical but these 2 sins are a big No to me...
