Tannoy Westminster SE vs. Sonus Faber Amati Futur

Maybe Kiddman doesn't understand. Using that same logic, "small drivers that play loud" line array speakers would not need woofers to support the bass. You just put 10 4 inch drivers, line um up and turn up the bass. Right?

I have listend to the Tannoy's at some length and know what they sound like. The midrange is still coming out of a 2" driver…..

"Studios need to be able to play LOUD" ?? there are a lot of studio monitors out there. How come??

Look this isn't about " buttering my bread" I don't carry Sonus Faber, so no butter here. What's on your bread MAN?

Sound Real, your logic is faulty here. You clearly don't understand the nature of the transformer (the horn) that takes the load off that 2" driver, compared to a "bare driver", to the tune of an order of magnitude.

It's useless to argue with someone (you) who obviously has no technical understanding of the subject, and who not many years ago was asking Audiogoners what to carry! Seems to me the general consensus in that thread was that you should go learn something, and that still applies. Don't just spout off before learning the subject matter. Rather, do the mature thing and go learn about the compression driver and horn loading, from a technical standpoint, then go test several of the best models, involving several brands. Do some measurements to correlate to your listening experiences. Then come back and talk, you'll at that point be able to bring something to the table. A couple decades more experience and studying and you will then REALLY bring something to the table.

Unlike you, no commercial affiliations here. I don't do retail, I'm not in the speaker business, I own both cones and horns.

Remember one of the first rules of credibility: know what you are talking about before you throw dogmatic statements around.

It is obvious that Kiddman knows best. You can simply ask him…no doubt he will tell you that the 15" woofer is going to give you fast and tuneful bass plus it will integrate seamlessly with the 2" tweet….I must leave this thread…I fear I am being stalked….

I should add here that I was a dealer for Tannoy and have a little experience with them. Probably not enough to satisfy the KID.

"I must leave this thread"

That's the smartest thing you have said in this thread.
