Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers?

I used to have tannoy windsors, they are really good speakers.
Bass solid not boomy and mile wide soundstage.   In my home theater i built 6 diy subs with 15 inch tannoys that we took out of a church, they do wicked bass in big 8cubic foot enclosures.   Tannoy makes everything from cheap to uber awesome grade products.   I also have a little bookshelf pair that dont sound good at all, worse than similiar sized polks.

I'd like to know what Tannoy owners and auditioners think of, say, a Kensington GR with hard rock/heavy metal. I listen at low to moderate volumes.

johnrothschild:

The Kensington GR is a high fidelity speaker -- not recommended for hard rock/heavy metal. For that you want low fidelity with excessive bass. Hard rock/heavy metal in high fidelity will make you question your self-worth, and you won't like the answer.

jburidan: i dont understand you gradation, The High  End  speakers with
good bass extension like B & W nautilus or Egglestone Viginity with
two 10"  butyl  surround (low resonance frequency) drivers  is excellent for any type of music included hard rock /Heavy metal ,etc)   The Kensington
like other Tannoy get woofer with cloth surround , this woofer is very fast
good punch , but is not be able produce lower bass ,

I was joking. I don't listen to hard rock/heavy metal so I have no idea how they would sound on my Tannoys, which BTW go down to 16Hz. It all depends on the room, not on the surround.
