Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?

I'd like to know if any of the Tannoy gurus in Audiogonland could recommend one of the larger 12" or 15" vintage (or modern) models for midfield listening. I have my speakers arranged along the long wall of my 12 x 28' living room on either side of my fireplace, firing across the short dimension, about 9' from drivers to listening position. I had the 10" Glenair for a while (Tulip waveguide), but couldn't seem to get far enough away from the speakers for them to resolve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob R

Hi Bob,

I believe that this issue you have of more a speaker placement matter than the speaker's fault. I have a pair of Glenair 15 and they image very well at diverse listening positions (it's not clear to me what you mean with "resolve").
It's worth it to read this review, where the reviewer much enjoyed listening to the 15' Glenairs from a close listening position, as if listening to headphones:
