Tannoy Prestige line of speakers: May I ask for those who have experience with Tannoy Kensington or above to speak out with their experience. Better yet, the long time struggle with the so called "Audiophile" bugs to keep on changing the equipment in order to find the "Holy Grail" of anything resemble "life music" or stop the "upgrading" bug.
Watchtimes - In Europe I heard both the Stirling and Turnberry against the $35k Triangle Megallens. There is a sense of ease and coherence with Tannoys that for me they can hold their own against speakers much more expensive. You wont get trouser flapping bottom end or spectacular crystalline top end, but you get a musical rightness that allows you to forget about gear and enjoy music.
I guess I wasn't lucky with Tannoys. I mean I really wanted to like 'em and listened to many set ups - Definition, Turnberry, Canterbury, KIngdom etc but they always sounded extremely boxy with no bass or highs and very poor on rock music. Each time the dealer blamed it on the set up or the room. Could be, I'm not bashing the brand that has so many followers.
