Opinion on Tannoy Loudspeakers......

......that's the first Audiogon Aphorism ??......didn't know that one , but a better one would be - why does it take over 24 hours to post a thread ????.....and still charge you a % of your sale as a third party !

It takes over 24 hour to start a thread on Audiogon every weekend.

I heard a couple pair of Tannoy's at a local dealer a few months back. Not exactly sure of the models, but they sounded pretty damn good to me, paired with McIntosh and Pass Labs electronics. Physically they are too much speaker for me though. My room demands a sleeker design.

HELLO JOHN .....! WHERE DID YOU HEAR THEM AS I THINK YOU LIVE IN PA AND I AM UP HERE IN NY ...WHICH WOULD NOT BE ALL THAT BAD OF DRIVE

Hi Gary, I heard them at Audio Video Expressions in Southampton Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia. A nice little store, there are not too many bricks and mortar stores left around me. They seemed very big on Tannoy though, as I recall, they were the only speaker line they carried that they had set up when I walked in. As I said previously, they sounded very nice, but they are too big for my room.

I went to check out some PAD cables, but the owner was very nice, and I did spend about an hour listening to various Tannoy speakers and chatting with him.

Thanks John .....I have used PAD since 1994 - my whole system is PAD now. I have always liked their cables and Jim Aud is a class act to deal with. If you need any help let me know.
