Tannoy Stirlings on the way!

What amp do you use? Did I miss that?

@chorus I currently have a McIntosh MC152.  Over the years, I've had everything from a Yamaha integrated to Electrocompaniet monoblocks, but I'm pretty happy with the Mac right now.

That's awesome. I  strongly considered Tannoy in my search as well. Love the mystique 

Wow! Great choice! I’m sure you will love them. I own the Tannoy Legacy Eaton standmounters, the biggest stand mount speaker I’ve ever seen lol. Man, they sound terrific, especially paired with a nice class A amp/integrated. Try the sugden A21 SE if you have the opportunity, it’s a great match. My eatons will most likely be my rest of life speakers..I still have my wharfedales, but these tannoys are in another world or league. Made and designed in the UK, Scottland.

This is an excerpt from a review of the Tannoy Eatons, which will most likely apply to your tannoys as well....
"in Ravel’s Nocturn from Daphnis and Chloé (Serge Baudo, Czech Philharmonic) the view of the pastoral landscape was portrayed so seductively that I froze in the listening chair - the space was literally walkable for hours."

And another....
"And I especially fell in love with its depth - imagine deep and absolutely clear water, everything is moving, smoothly and continuously, you see colors and clear outlines to a depth of a few meters and you have an immense desire to dive to that depth."

Trent when the Stirlings are in your system you need to setup a virtual system here so we can see them!
