Tannoy Westminster Royal HE

Hi, I would like to hear your opinions and comments regarding the Tannoy Westminsters. These very oldfashioned (to many: ugly) looking speakers have been quite a while, undergoing various modifications. According to some audiophiles they sound impressive. How will they sound compared to my current speakers, the Dunlavy SC-Vs? Do the Tannoys beat them in terms of sonics and sheer musicality? Do you have to drive them with single ended amplification or can they also sound good with solid state? Thx in advance.

they are NOT ugly if you have the right house they are beautiful! The sound has better image than Dunlavy but not as accurate in my opinion. They are wonderful if you play tubes amps

They are NOT ugly; If you have the right house they are beautiful! The Tannoy has better imaging than Dunlavy but they're not as accurate in my opinion: I have heard both. They are a wonderful speaker if you play tube amps and they make one hell of a statement. Good luck finding a used pair people don't sell them they normally stay in the castles they live in.
