Tannoy?


Tannoy speakers are quite popular in Japan and Taiwan. I noticed that people have high regard for old Tannoy speakers using Red, Gold, or the HPD drivers. But in the States, I could not find a single Hi-Fi store to audition Tannoy speakers in my state. It seems B&W speakers are much more popular in the States.

Comments?

P.S. I owned a pair of Tannoy Devon when I was in high school. :)

Tannoy are quite reputed for their speakers. Apart from their Westminster, Canterbury, etc (I remember ogling over as a kid) they now have a series called TD(?) with dual-concentric drivers (mid-bass) and hi-rez tweets on them. I heard one of these models, the 12 (if memory serves) that I assume is the biggest... It was beautifully finished and sounded very good, very musical, phase correct (as far as I could tell) & quite "full-range". Don't know about the pricing though -- I think it's expensive...
