Tannoy Arden - any comment?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "edges have been rewrapped", but if you can get the Ardens for a good price, I advise you to buy them.

Tannoys are good for all types of music, and a broad range of amplifiers.

Good luck,

Dan

To Dan:
Hi, Thank you for reply.
"edges have been rewrapped" I mean the edges have been refoamed. Due to age, the edges of the speakers were broken so the edges need to be reconstructed.

I understand, you mean the foam surrounds have been replaced, meaning the drivers are 15" HPD's. A common occurance with them. I had mine converted to hard edge surrounds, as in the current Prestige line, by purchasing new cones, and having the conversion done in England.

I hope, for your sake, you are able to get them, they are such good speakers. At one time, I powered mine with an Aragon 3002 (300 Wpc), and they sounded great together, so I expect your 4004 to be a good match as well.

My favorite amp now, is an SET 300B at 9 Wpc, which shows how versatile Tannoys can be. Let us know if you get them.

Good luck,
Dan

To Dan,

Thank you so much for your comments. I can see a lot of other models on Yahoo such as Stirling (TW, TWW, HE, SE), Greenwich, etc which are of the same price range, yet I can't find anywhere on the net telling us the difference between these models.

Do you know anywhere that tells us their differences in acoustic performance? I listen to pop, female vocals, orchestra most of the time.

Thanks
Chris
