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

I heard Hales some 15 years ago in a Hi-End shop in Boca. They did not sound at all analytical to me

I own Emerald Physics 3.4s 2 way,  which has 12"  concentric drivers with 1" polyester tweeters; ~97 dB very easy to drive and amazing imaging along with deep and wide sound stage
