Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each?

I’ve got the Berkeley’s, which are said to be the same as the Arden’s but in smaller boxes.

I’ve read a few articles and user reviews that the Arden cabinet is better suited to the HPD385 15 inch dual concentric drivers which both of these classic Tannoys share.

If they are, they should be fabulous.

The Arden’s are also said to go down some 5Hz lower in the bass.

The only things to watch out for are siting (mid-bass boom), and the occasional raucous treble some users have reported.

I bought a set of the new Cheviot a few months back from Upscale. They sound like butter. Not bass heavy unless playing something that has deep bass, then they dig deep, no hesitation.

I will be selling a pair of excellent condition Cheviot's as soon as I get the pictures and everything set up. I have to figure out how to post them. Cannot send a preview pic in this discussion

George 265, are your cheviots still available?

Not a big fan of speakers that use the tweeter as a midrange driver, with a very low crossover frequency, around 1200k. I prefer a larger midrange 6" that will reproduce male voices like Leonard Cohen for example. You ain't going to get that with a tweeter, doesn't move enough air.
