I love Tannoy and have owned some models over the years (Eyris DC3, Dimension TD10, Kensington SE, Canterbury SE), and heard several more. Lots of great speakers there, particularly the Prestige line. But I'd be wary of the 10A and recommend auditioning before buying. I've heard it a few times at my dealer, and the resolution and imaging are fantastic but the energy up top is just too damn much -- searing, in fact. I've heard Tannoys run the gamut from dark to bright and these were the only that were flat out searing to my ears. Yes, you can fight that back down with room setup and gear matches, but from my experience this once is well above the norm up top.
Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver
I am looking to purchase preferentially a floor-standing loudspeaker with coincident tweeter - midrange for my smaller 14 x 13 ft listening room.
I believe this will enhance coherence and musicality over my Revel Ultima Studio 2, which are indeed quite detailed but don't sound as coherent as I would like in my room. I use VAC preamplification and a Clayton Audio S2000 amplifier.
Thinking about KEF Blade 2, Thiel 3.7, TAD Evolution One and Tannoy DC10A. (Not cheap but perhaps a final loudspeaker?)
Thanks in advance for your comments and reccommendations!
