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 think any gov't who tells it people to self Isolate for 12 months while they screw around with partial solutions to a virus is obligated to provide all its citizens with Westministers. 

Who is with me??
@trentmemphis,

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Tannoy’s. I have been enjoying my Canterbury’s with Accuphase E-650 Integrated for almost 2 years now. Thanks to my dealer, I am going to audition darTZeel Integrated in a month or so….looking forward to this amazing opportunity :-)

@clweed, yes, I'm still using them with the same REL subs.

Thanks to the large-ish driver and cabinet volume, they do bass quite well on their own. That will depend a great deal on your room, though, obviously. My room doesn't have a large square footage, but thanks to a couple of partial walls, the effective *volume* of the room for bass frequencies is pretty large.  The subs help drive that volume, and they add some speed.

Nice! I've never heard any darTZeel gear.  I'm not even sure how to pronounce it!
I purchased a Line Magnetic 211ai  from a fellow AGer which delivers 16wpc in triode and 32 wpc in ultralinear. Once received I will get back to you regarding this combination.

Well that is a very nice amp. 
But please fill us in witha  better report on the speakers perforance. 
So far we have nothing substance in your review.

We need the goods and the bads.
