Any feedback on TANNOY?

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".

I've used Tannoy dual concentrics for over thirty years and have not yet found a compelling reason to move to another brand of speaker--at least for what I can afford.

The best value for money are their professional studio monitors for which you have to go on the Tannoy Professional site. I use DMT 12 and DMT 15 II.

Tannoy manufactures speakers in virtually every price range (though the cheaper models are not dual concentrics), right up to the $25,000 Westminster Royals, a fully horn-loaded design the size of a large fridge and the weight of a sumo wrestler that ranks among the very best loudspeakers made.

But one man's fidelity drives another man crazy, so audition as much as you can. Also,lots of used Tannoys on eBay, here on Audiogon and elsewhere.

If you listen to classical music these are for you. I'm thinking about buying a pair of Saturn 8 ot 10 (Saturn is the cheapest series to have the dual-concentric) or
Definition- 500 (the name says it all). I found the sound very truthfull to the recorded music (of course I wasn't at the recording sesion, but you understand what I mean).
regards.

I would consider purchasing Tannoy before B&W any day. I especially like the Definition 500 & 700 models. I was unimpressed with the Dimension series.

I have a pair of MX4 which I like a lot. A lot of speaker for the money. I have Cabasse in my main system, but these lower end Tannoys are really nice.
