Tannoy eyris 3 or focal cobalt 816s.. whats good ?

I would also suggest Tannoy, but agree that older is better, especially if you aren't getting speakers in the Prestige line. I used 12" Tannoy MG's (Monitor Golds), back in the seventies in a 10x50 mobile home, and they sounded great. I still use 12" Tannoy drivers (in custom cabinets, in a 16' X 34' room w/cathedral ceiling).

See what you can find in the used market for Tannoys, or at least try to listen to some. Any music sounds good on them.

I used to own Eyris DC 3 and really liked them a lot. Perhaps much better than the plain Eyris 3, which didn’t get good marks from kdude66? But typically, you go Tannoy for their Dual-Concentric driver.

Also a huge Tannoy fan here, and a lot of us don’t really have them toed-in quite so much that they cross in front of the listening spot -- yes the manuals do recommend this, but that’s weird for most audiophile 2ch listening setups (possibly good for hitting larger listening areas in large rooms). I do like my Tannoys toed in a good bit, though.

Though I love Tannoy, be wary that their voicing is all over the map across models -- sometimes within the same line. I’ve heard one model sound like mud (Definition 10T) and the next (Definition 10A) have an absolutely searing top end. Eyris DC 3 were one of the nicely balanced ones, though (and old Dimension TD10 too, now that I think of it). My current Canterbury SE are definitely on the warm side, until you stick supertweets on top. 

Thanks....
