Tannoy Westminster Royal HE

I am a Tannoy enthusiast, and corresponded with Ian Gellatly (sp?)at Tannoy regarding the Kingdom line. He explained it is stricily for export to Asia, and also told me that the Churchill is superior to the Westminster, having a smoother And easier impedance. Have you read all that Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenburg said about the Westminster Royals? www.meta-gizmo.com

Used Westminsters are not very easy to get (in fact this is a very uncommon thing). But I've seen there is a pair for sale! Do you think it is worthwhile to replace my Dunlavy SC-V's with them? Thank you.

IMHO you will gain in dynamics and SPL loudness and slightly more flexibility in placement if that is what you desire then go for it. Dunlavy's are wonderful but they don't play extremely loud and they tend to have a narrow sweetspot and tend to present a more woody tonality. Tannoys will be a little harsher or edgy or lively in comparison. Both are classic absolutely awesome speakers - so please don't take this as any criticism of either- just relative stuff.

Thank you Shadorne.
