@trentmemphis Would love to see those pics if you get around to them soon!
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.

Hi, Bob. Unfortunately, I've had rather a busy time of it since I posted that. On Christmas Eve, a burst pipe in the apartment above mine flooded my place. Mine was one of about 50. When I was able to get back into my place after the holidays and get a look at things, the bottom sections of the Sound Anchors had rusted. Since I got into my new place, I've tried a couple of things to clean them up, but it seems there's nothing for it but to take a sander to them and then hope some black paint will more or less match the powdercoat. The good news is that by keeping them up off the wet carpet, they saved the Stirlings. I guess I got them just in time. That's about the whole of the good news, though. It was a god-awful mess. |
@trentmemphis So sorry to hear this. Great you had the stands for the Sterlings. Hope things are working out at the new place. |
