Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference


I own these great looking speakers for a few months, and i am looking for views on its sound quality and people who have long experienced these speakers with different amps, electronics, and rooms, etc..
Based on my short experience, it seems that they are very easy on power quantity as being very efficient speakers, but require absolute quality watts to sound their best.
It feels as if they have infinite potential for sound quality and power, as long as you have what it takes to feed them, so how far can i, should i go with these in terms of associated equipment?
I hope that experienced audiophiles out there can help me realize the full potential on these beauties.
Thanks

Folks,

I own the Gryphon Mephisto Solo amps & the SM-101 MK-II Vitus amps before this. Both amps have their strong suites. The Gryphon has more resolution, openness & dynamic snap and can sound big for it's power rating. More neutral than Vitus.

Vitus on the other hand sounds very organic with equal micro dynamics. the macro-dynamics can becomes constrained and can sound restricted when you increase the volume. At low volumes it is ethereal.

Back to the gryphon, it changes color & tone depending on the cables, power cords you feed it with. With the Stealth Cloude 99 it sounds very clear & clean placing it on the lighter side of neutral. some of the other cords give it a darker tone.

So at the end you choose what you voice it with & how you like the sounds.

Enjoy!
