Great Thread and discussion..Thanks for a lot of info.
I did have a chance to hear a Turnberry with and without Supertweeters, and felt they are a hit/miss. With some recordings they do add a lot more spatial cues but with some recording they can give an impression of going on the harsher side which is completely against the grain..hence can be a bit disorienting.
Regarding Rock- They definitely do Rock. since they naturally have a fleshed out sound very rich in harmonic content (And i believe the reason many folks feel they are colored)they do very well with both Tubes and SS. and while quality of power is important they do respond to quantity of power especially with regard to the bottom end .
I run my Tannoys with a Leben amp and frankly could not be happier..and i listen to almost every Genre except Heavy Metal and Rap..and i personally believe they are the most Tonally satisfying speakers i have heard
