has anyone heard the Tannoy Kingdom Royal?

If I had the dough, I'd buy them without an audition and with no qualms whatsover. Tannoy is one of the only truly great speaker makers in hi-fi history, IMHO.

Haven't heard them, but I want 'em. Unfortunately, will never be that rich.

I talked to Kevin Hayes, owner and chief design engineer at VAC, and what he says is that they are a must-hear, even if you can't afford 'em. He maintains they are very special, and he uses them to demo his equipment at shows.

That says a lot about them.

There was a fairly recent review of this speaker. I can't recall if it was Positive Feedback on Line or Stereophile.
