Any feedback on TANNOY?

I recently dropped in the website of Tannoy while researching on speakers and look quite interesting. However, there aren’t too many write-ups of reviews on them. How good are these speakers? Second, they seem to have wide range of products – fx, mercury, revolution, saturn, definition, eyris, dimension (which really looks good), etc. How would you rank these products? Do you have any idea of the price rang for Tannoy speakers?

My other speaker choices are – Paradigm Studios and B&W NT. How would Tannoy compare to these?

Thanks

I think that if you were to do a discussion forum search of 'Tannoy' you would find quite a bit. Most of it is positive. So much so that I will audition Tannoy speakers before making my own final decision.

Tannoy is particularly well thought of in professional circles, and its various lines are certainly worthy of comparison to price-competitive offerings of Paradigm, B&W, PSB, and others. Of course, speaker sound is a very individual (and room-dependent) thing, so the opinions of others really aren't of much relevance.

Their lines are a bit confusing. Here are rough price ranges for some of their lines (per pair, for mains):

Dimension: $6-10K
Definition: $3-4K
Eyris: $1-2K
Revolution: $500-1500
Mercury: $270-730

I have a pair of Tannoy Turnberrys from their Prestige series. I am very pleased with them. They are perfect for my small living room. Their imaging is excellent and the sound is crystal clear and focused. I am using a tube amp and I like the setup a lot. They also have a very retro look that I find way cool. These list for $4500 and it is quite difficult to find a dealer that carries the Prestige line. I'll be hanging onto these for quite a while, that's how much I like them. Bomarc is right though, you should give a listen for yourself. Good luck.
