Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change.

I’ve read in reviews the newer Turnberrys take some liberties with some components used like tweeter design for cost reasons and do not use the best in the Tannoy arsenal either past or present as do some of the higher models. Cheviot may be one of those, not sure.

Also I've read that amp used makes a big difference as it will no doubt with Tekton, and though flea powered SETs are not the best choice for these Tannoy and most Tekton, moderate powered push/pull tube amps are.

I love this place. Thanks for the feedback and many great responses.

I should have mentioned I do cherish my Turnberrys and all the wonderful things they do. The time I’ve spent with them (for the most part) has been delightful. When I say "most part" it’s because of the really long break-in and the fact they sit about 4-5" below ear level (for now).
I was hoping the Tektons were that one rare and underpriced killer holy grail-deal I’ve been waiting for. I was also hoping to find out (all things being equal) is if the Tekton’s soundstage height, width and depth is greater or less than that of the Tannoys. I’m still (barely) optimistic someday I might come across the one thing which takes my system’s sound to the next level without having to shell out 10x $ for a 10% improvement.

Mesch: “Sometimes it is change we are looking for. Not improvement.”

I think you hit the nail on the head, my friend.

So, I’ll shelf my no-weak-link, side-grade, phase-coherent bad idea for now. It sounds like it’s might be time to invest in some real room treatment and professional counseling instead of messing with my speakers.

Thanks for the link Duke. It’s incredible how much this man knows about sound. “There is more useful and reliable information on the side of a tire than in most loudspeaker specifications!”
