Tannoy Prestige Speakers


Where can I find Tannoy Prestige speakers on the east coast?

Aronesss: In just a few hours you nailed it. I have lived a year with Kensington SE and your short description is so right: they do not draw attention to themselves, they have an organic and wonderful midrange; emtionally involving. And the bass is very dynamic and makes listening fun. And their only shortcoming, and I will say it is just slightly so, is their not "extremely extended treble."

For my part I have found the speakers for life. Kensington is bettered by the bigger Tannoys, but they demand a bigger room than I have. I think there is some magic with this model, with allnico and pepperpot horn, that Prestige models under it do not have (Glenair, Sandringham etc), especially in microdynamics, voices and an organic presentation of music. This last point is connected with music being presented as a "Gestalt".

This is just my subjective impressions, so take it as it is. However, I am impressed that you Aronss nailed the signature of Kensington on just one audition.
Chashas -

I need to hear one or two more speakers, but at present it looks like Tannoy. I will need to hear them one more time as I only heard them for about 90 minutes.
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!
