Speaker choice advise requested...

I bought a pair of Tannoy floor standers several months ago after becoming somewhat disenchanted with music reproduction in my system. I believe my Tannoys are an earlier version of the XT6, 2 6 inch drivers with a tweeter in the concentric design.

Tannoys have a "music first" approach. Upon comparing them with a few different speaker brands I have, with Parasound Halo gear they have a superior soundstage and have become my favourite. I listen to rock, pop, country and some old school jazz.

The imaging on these Tannoys is quite something for the money. The speakers simply disappear, and the stage is right in front of you. I’d give them a listen for sure.  

I'm afraid I can't answer that for you since I can't sit in your room with both Tannoys and Klipsch speakers, and I also don't have your preferences(I assume).  It's tough buying without demoing first, though I've done plenty of that myself.  My Tannoy floor standers were a blind buy, but I knew the Tannoy house sound.

I've never owned Klipsch, though I have had 4 pairs of Tannoys and still own two pairs.  My reading is that for those who find fault with Klipsch, they find them too harsh or bright sounding.  Also, with efficiency ratings of 95+ db, you'd never use most of what your amp can do.  My vote is for the Tannoys.  They really excel at music reproduction and imaging.  

Goodness, it's not his amp or fuses.  The Maggies are a fussy speaker for placement, that's Maggy knowledge 101.  Suggesting that someone try a Bryston, when he's got quite a respectable integrated amp, does not seem helpful.  

If the speakers aren't blooming well, then attenuating the tweeters by installing the resistors won't create more bloom.  

People aren't reading the thread.  The OP mentions his amp(and clearly mentions his issues) and people are suspecting the amp, and asking why he won't mention it.  Sigh.  

Beernut, you seriously can't go wrong with either the Tannoys or the Klipsch for the kind of music you prefer.  I'd say your research is bang on.  I'm suggesting Tannoy because I own them and prefer them over the Paradigm, Ascend, and Pioneer speakers I've compared them to.   But there is a big following for Klipsch too.

He listed the integrated amp in the 11th post.

In post 18 you asked again about the amp, source and preamp, and mentioned not trying to be pushy.  It's always important to read the entire thread before asking questions that may have already been answered, gdnrbob.  It's not a long thread, so it's easy to read.
