I respect this forum and that's why I opened this discussion. I live nowhere close to any Tannoy sales/distribution point and have never listened to any of their speakers. Those of you who have, may be able to provide me invaluable insights. I am very interested in purchasing a pair of new GRF speakers, as UpScale Audio is having a sale to finally clear out all remaining Tannoy stock, as they are no longer the North American distributor. I WANT, but don't really NEED this pair of speakers; but I am so into the history of the Tannoy brand, up to the point it turned into a Chinese asset/moreless....build quality is way down; production turns out more blems than A Stock....so I am just asking anyone who's listened, heard, or own a dual concentric speaker, especially the limited production GRF90 or it's follow on GRF speaker, to provide me their insights. I've purchased speakers before without listening to them, such as Klipsch Hersey3 and Klipschorn AK6s; which i enjoy; but not sold on them for reference. I recently listened to Wilson Audio SashaV's for about 4 visits to the stereo store....and i bought them....and I love them............BUT....the Tannoys still interst me; maybe for a 2nd audio room for different or refined listening; or just a new experience. Thinking about dropping about $13500 on a new pair, without hearing them, concerns me; most people tell me "it's a different sound; more detailed and warm" and such things....this forum always seems real....and i can take the good, bad and the ugly of what comments may come forward, but I will appreciate ALL of them as they will guide my decision....i've learned; the two pair of Klipsch speakers are in storage; the pair of Bose 901s as well........I would hate to purchase Tannoys and they be dust collectors somewhere. Thanks in advance to everyone who provides guidance...i have maybe 25 years left in this life and retirement approaches, and I get so much pleasure out of my stereo system....and music will help, if the speakers are great...which i hope them to be.........I do love my Wilson Audio speakers for sure....Thanks all....
