In what ways modern speakers better the old Tannoy

I like the sound of the old Tannoy 15 incher with a tweeter in the middle, however, they didn't sound as liquid and transparent as the newer stuff. Is it hard to get that from a big woofer? (bigger than 6 inch)

Could you compare proac 2.5 to the Tannoy? (besides the size - I am just talking about the qaulity of the sound)

Thanks in advance,

I have a friend who can sell me Tannoy - I already bought JBL 4412 with all alnico woofers. I thought the newer speakers were more transparent, but as Goldorak suggested, I am going to re-do the X-over and see if that improves the transparency.

If I were to get the Tannoys, what ways would it improve the sound over JBL 4412?

We all know that we can DIY something like proacs for around $600, right? Just a note to those who like the upscale sound without wanting to pay for it. Just google search for "proac 2.5"

Thanks Gold for your advice - I am gonna try that for sure.
