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 auditioned the Sterlings with a 20wpc class A Luxman integrated amplifier. Drove them very well. Yes the Turnberrys have an updated
driver. If my room was larger I might have considered that model.

My BEL 1001 MK5 amplifier suits the Sterlings very well.  
lalitk, you are correct. Love the Sterlings. Will be playing with placement, footers, and possibly adding a base for elevation. I will order the oil applicator your recommended. Thanks!

I will continue to keep everyone informed as I progress.

Trentmemphis, as you can see from lalitk's post I am considering tube amplification for my Sterlings.
