Opinions Needed: Hales vs. Tannoy


I currently have Hales Revelation 3 in my two channel system.  They are powered by a Krell KAV 400xi integrated amplifier.  

My question is whether a switch from the Hales to a pair of Tannoy D700 would be an upgrade or just a lateral move.  I’m looking for more authoritative bass.  My complete current rig is listed in my virtual system.  TIA

mulveling and roxy54 thank you for the helpful replies.  Based on your responses, I am making arrangements to audition the Tannoy’s today.  Not in my room but with my integrated, source and speaker cables.

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. Just looking to simplify/eliminate pieces from my system.  If I could add more slam from a pair of mains and ditch the subs I’d like to do it.


The Hales will remain in my possession in my collection of classic equipment lol
