Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers?

I listen to a lot of hard rock and metal. I used to own Kensington SE. They are very good for that music, but you don’t want them in too big a room so that they have trouble pushing out satisfying bass pressure - or use them with subs. You’ll also want to pair it with gear with a sweet and slightly relaxed treble.

this information-exactly that i am waiting  from Kensingtons  owner.
for big room ---- sub. 

@skoczylas , I’m a big fan too. It sounds like you’ve arrived at one version of the state of the art.

I understand that not everyone agrees but I don’t think a better cabinet material for the midrange exists.

I just love that organic tactile clarity you can get with the birch cabinet/paper cone combination.

skoczylas:

My experience mirrors yours. No need for a subwoofer with my Tannoys' 15" dual-concentric drivers.

jburidan,

The need for a subwoofer with any non-powered speakers is very subjective. You may not know what you’re missing if you have not tried a subwoofer with your 15” dual-concentric driver. 

I do concur with ‘organic tactile clarity’ comment. I run my Canterbury’s with dual REL subs and they do get standing O every now and then 😉
