Tannoy?


Tannoy speakers are quite popular in Japan and Taiwan. I noticed that people have high regard for old Tannoy speakers using Red, Gold, or the HPD drivers. But in the States, I could not find a single Hi-Fi store to audition Tannoy speakers in my state. It seems B&W speakers are much more popular in the States.

Comments?

P.S. I owned a pair of Tannoy Devon when I was in high school. :)

Back in the days, I am sure I would have liked the tannoys, 
B&W's I always hated, although as you say, popularized, USA loves adores commcerialISM/ConsumerISM.  WE  worship big **trusted* names.
But today, 2021, those brands are about extinct and can I say, Good riddance. To all *House Sound* speakers, The Vandersteens, Thiels Walsh's ,etc **Signature sound*
There are new kids on the block and they mean business.
