Tannoy Stirlings on the way!


Hi, everybody.  Longtime member, first time caller.

I just ordered up a pair of Tannoy Stirling GR floorstanders, and, frankly, I'm looking for people to rejoice with!

I'm a speakers guy, through and through.  I've got Dynaudios, Focals, B&Ws, Totems, Wharfedales, Klipsches, and even my old Polk 5Bs, the first speakers I ever bought, way back in the '80s.  I wanted to try something very different, and the Prestige line Tannoys really spoke to me.  The coincident drivers, the old-school-ish paper cone, the old-school cabinets and ports.  I'm really looking forward to hearing how they soundstage!

I thought about getting the Turnberrys, but the Stirlings should be just about the perfect size for my [extremely irregular] room.  Especially since I already have a pair of subs.

I'm pretty chuffed.

I am looking forward to you thoughts on your Sterlings once you’ve had time to get acquainted with them. Was thinking of pairing with a Pass XA25. 
Trentmemphis, that response was not directed at you, should have been more clear. The quote was from someone further back in this series of posts that said to stay away from class A of 30 watts or more....which to me has no validity...
@audioguy85,

No worries.

I think most of us here would understand that Sugden have been making pretty solid amps for a very, very long time.

Or I could read more carefully.  My mistake.

Yeah, I considered something from Pass, as well, but I'm not ready to move on from the Mac just yet.  It seems like it would be a good combination, though.  

My estimate on my delivery date was off by a bit, @lalitk .  They're arriving tomorrow afternoon!
