Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker?

I have a pair of Tannoy DC8Ti speakers in my dedicated music listening (12’x15’x8’).  I purchased them used five years ago from a local LG TV dealer right off the showroom floor (they sounded fantastic).  At the time, I had a vintage McIntosh system (10 years old) and even older Pioneer system (25 years old).  I hooked the Tannoy’s up to each system and, while they sounded very good, they didn’t sound as good as the store demo (imagine that ).  

I used that as an excuse to upgrade to my current system and couldn’t be happier.  It took me several weeks to get them dialed in properly, but once I did, the Tannoy magic was all there.  I don’t need a sub; depending on the recording, soundstage, instrument separation, and imaging is excellent and, on most songs, the speakers just disappear.  

My Tannoy’s are driven by a PS Audio BHK250 power amp and LTA microZOTL preamp (I sold my BHK preamp once I heard it in my system).  Streaming source Innous Zenith MKII to Matrix SPDIF-X via i2s to a PS Audio DSD DAC. Vinyl source Technics SL1200G to a PS Audio Stellar phono pre.  

I can’t speak to the state or sound of Tannoy’s current line from personal experience, but I can tell you, the DC8Ti’s are excellent speakers.  The build quality is impeccable, and, with the right gear, the sound is natural, engaging, with no listening fatigue.  

@immatthewj I've had Stirling GR's since 2019 and have no plans to change.  In regard to positioning I haven't found them to be finicky at all.  They are perfect for my room and I've used everything from Music Reference RM10 Mk2, Atma-Sphere Class D's, Will Vincent ST-70 and Cary SLI-80HS which I like the best.  Atma-Spheres were fantastic too just different.  I just like the sound of tubes and of course the aggravation and expense.

I agree with you..going on 6 years with Canterbury’s. I look at alternatives every now and then, it would cost twice as much to replace them for not whole lot of gain. One of the best purchases made in my audio journey. 

Turnberrys here for 4 years and no desire to upgrade speakers again. Prior to these, I had Tannoy XT8-F which were also nice. I used these with: a 300B tube amp and with Atma-Sphere monoblock class D with their tube pre-amp. After some tube rolling in the Atma-sphere preamp, I'm much happier with the sound with the class D- especially bass.

You mentioned two amps, are you bi-amping the Turnberry’s.
