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.
Tannoy has been around since the earliest days of recorded sound. Did you know that in England, the word "Tannoy" is sometimes used in general for "Loudspeaker".
