tannoy or devore or....

Hi all,

I’m considering upgrading my speakers to something a bit bigger than my tannoy stirling prestige SE, which ive had for about 12 years and i beleive are late 90s vintage. I’m a fan of the tannoy sound, my TV system has 1980s dovers too.

Options I’m thinking about are devore 0/96, fyne vintage classic 12 (apparently surfacing in january), and some tannoy grf memory (1980s vintage) recently popped up on a local auction site. The GRF are probably a bit big, and I can’t hear them first, but they look in decent condition.

I like the presentation of the tannoys, but they are a bit small for the current room, and I'd like something with a bit more bass depth and scale.

Amp is accuphase e280, mostly vinyl from a garrard 301.

Any thoughts? Any other speakers I should be considering in the price range? I’m obviously preferring more sensitive and vibey designs.

Those are all good choices and good match for your e280. How big is your room? You mentioned about adding a bit more bass and depth, how about adding a pair of subs to Tannoy Stirling? A pair of subs especially REL’s will give you that depth and bass you’re missing from Stirling’s.

I am complementing my Tannoy Canterbury’s with a pair of Rel subs and Accuphase E-650.
