I have been looking around at the Tannoy Prestige line. I was curious about how these compare to more modern designs. I am a little burnt out on "hi-fi" and I am having an "enjoy the music" moment. I demoed a few pairs of Tannoys when I first got into audio and I remember liking them pretty well but it has been awhile scene I have heard them. I would be looking at the Kensington SE (and down) or either of the Glenair models. I do not have room or budget for anything bigger. I would be looking on the used market and have no dealer in my area. I am currently using Thiel CS2.4s.
Do they have much horn coloration? Does the bass have punch (I like hard rock and typical audiophile stuff too). How detailed are they compared to more modern designs?
I have canterbury se and cant seem to find amps that work well with 70's 80's rock music and heavy rock also.Almost considering trying digital amplifier with them maybe with tube preamp.
I suspect Manley and Tannoy Prestige would be a very compelling combination, both soundwise and aesthetically, at least for those with some retro-type preferences in how their gear looks and sounds.
