Tannoy Westminster's. Unbelievable dynamics and texture. Dual concentric design sounds like a single driver speaker in coherence and dispersion except smoother, better balanced, and more detail.
So many people talk about detail as in JM Labs bright berylium tweeters. This is just boosted HF with overdamped LF to give the illusion of "detail". The Tannoy's give LF and midrange detail in the form of a 14" paper cone. That's what I mean by texture.
If you look at music, middle C is something like 330hz. Then there are upper harmonics of middle C at 660, 1,320 hz etc.**
The Tannoys give full resolution of the 330 hz fundamental not just overemphasized upper harmonics.
