Tannoy vs Klipsch

My exposure is limited but I tend to think of Tannoy as more British sounding Klipsch, similar to other differences between many North AMerican/US lines and British competition.

Then there are "French" horns and the French sound. Triangle has moved towards incorporating more horn designs into their speakers it seems in recent years.

British sound is more laid back and warmer. French is fast and detailed. North American/US is generally somewhere in the middle.

I have Klipschorns in my Family room and Tannoy Westminster Royals in my living room. The Tannoy's are smoother and I find I listen to them more often,longer and without any listener fatigue. I cannot say about the smaller speakers in the two line ups but if my experance is transferable to the others I would go with the biggest Tannoy I could afford.

Thanks folks. Your responses have certainly taken Klipsch out of the equation. Still going to give Totem a listen, but probably going the Tannoy route. I would love to go up to the Kensingtons, but they are double the Turnberrys, and not a fan of the glenair look, and I'm not sure if they are an improvement for the extra cost as well.

I want to add that the "vintage series Klipsch have been heavily modified and may sound different. A flea watt amp, was never the right amp for them, they had fabric/doped suspended woofer surounds, which too some real power tjeir overcome. I would be curious to hear them now, so don't completely abandon them, just avoid the crappy new models and ask the salesman to hook them up to McIntosh if possible very synergy. They may think your nuts but insist!
Totem are great you will likely like them a lo.t a wise choice.

Tannoy makes music, Klipsch plays loud.
