Thank you everyone for your responses. I did end up going with the Tannoys. I have no decent audio dealers in my area, so I had to depend on forum reviews and recommendation from the one person I know personally who got me into this audiophile thing. The commonality I ran into with Focal was that they are almost too clear; to the point of possible fatigue after long listening sessions. Admittedly, I am still curious to hear them though. With the PL and Tannoys as my introduction to higher end audio, I guess I have more reach to do. So far, I am pretty happy with the setup ,though I have nothing else to compare it to. The Tannoys play very well with jazz, blues, acoustical guitar, and instrumental music like the Split Enz, where there are a lot of sounds coming at you. What would be the next recommend model, if I were to stay with Tannoy and keeping inline with their traditional models?
FOCAL ARIA 926 vs. TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 6F using a Primaluna Dialogue Premier
I recently purchased a Primaluna Dialogue Premium and am in need of better speaker to compliment the amp. I am teetering between Focal and Tannoy and would greatly appreciate any assistance in helping make a decision. Room size 12x25 with the setup at one end with furniture, so the room is not a dedicated listening room. Thanks.
