Tannoy Stirlings on the way!

Well, I've been absent from this thread for some time. And believe called out for it. My computer went down and any interaction with this forum was conducted using my iphone. Hate typing lengthy documents on it. Also, for several reasons have not been spending much time with my audio system.  One of the several is that I am building another house on my property into which my wife and I will move. I will have a dedicated audio room therein. Hoping to move the system into this home late this winter and then have opportunity to enjoy more audio sessions.  In the interim I sold my BEL 1001 MK5, and due to opportunities I couldn't refuse purchased a Pass XA25 in May and an Aric Audio Transcend tube amplifier in November. 

Getting back to the focus of this thread, I can say that I do enjoy the Sterlings however realize  I have much yet to discover.  At this point I believe both amps play well with them. The new room is a little larger with better dimensions which should allow them to open up, providing a wider/deeper soundstage. Once the move is made I will get back with my thoughts. Please don't expect a lengthy review as that is not my intent. I have tinnitus and am not sure of its value to others should I provide one. 

Thanks for a great thread!

That's some big doings!  Congrats on the house and the new amps.  A dedicated listening room is awesome.  Your Stirlings will thank you, I imagine.

Yes, right now enjoying the Sterlings as played by the Aric Audio Transcend with KT120 tubes. 

I should add that my choice on the Sterlings was driven not only by sonic criterion. I love the way they look and that they have a very sturdy grill that snaps in place to protect drivers. I have 3 grandkids that live with me half time. Ages 5 and 6.  

Hey, for premium prices, you ought to get something you like to both see and hear. The grills and general "old timey" looks appealed to me, too.
