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.

Happy and excited for you. New gear setup can be an awesome experience.

Thanks, @ovinewar !  Yes, it can be.  Rediscovering music you've heard many times is a big part of the fun.

Wish I could figure out the REL issue, though.  Their customer support is stumped, as well.
I found something that fixes my subs, but I'm not sure why.  Still puzzling over that one, but, in any case, the bass is back to more of what I'm used to.  Need to do some tuning for the Stirlings' greater output in those frequencies.  I may push the couch (my listening seat) back some and see what that does.

I ordered up some room treatments from GIK.  Found out today those won't be here till late October, though.
^^^Glad to hear you you were able to sort out the REL connectivity.
+1, GIK Acoustics. There is about 2 months wait but they will be well worth the wait. I am expecting my Tape Op Collaboration Art Panels by end of this months.
