It's just that it's [playback through the larger Tannoys] so emotionally satisfying, especially with some classic EMI 1950s and 60s recordings where it feels like everything has aligned and this is as close to perfect as you're gonna get!).An astute observation. Perhaps a factor in this sonic chemistry is that the EMI recordings were likely monitored and mixed on large Tannoys, such that the recordings and the playback speakers are figuratively speaking the same "language."
