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.

Who is with me??

Hear! Hear!

Moabs are the "In thing" these days. Big, flashy and Splashy.

Hell of a buy by the pound! Or so the owners report.

 

 

 

"Very cool. They even have nameplates!  Are they internally braced/damped etc.?"

The stands are tightened, glued and additionally fastened with screws.
If I want, there’s still room to add diving lead but I don’t think there’s a need.
Rubber wheels, hidden under the stands (it looks like the speaker is completely on the floor), allow easy positioning of the speakers.
