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'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.
