Tannoy Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition or ProAc D 30 R o RS

I’ve owned a pair of Tannoy Cheviot II for 28 years... Now, I would like to replace them either with a more recent Tannoy model (i.e. Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition) or with ProAc D 30 R o RS.
My amplifier is an old Exposure Super XV, which I intend to retire as well.
Which of the two should I go for?

I would be particularly pleased to hear akg_ca’s opinion.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Hello Steve,

I would certainly opt for a solid state amplifier (Exposure 3010S2D Pre-Amplifier & Exposure 3010S2 Mono Power Amplifier).

I mostly listen to classical music (including opera).

Room size is 213 sq.ft. Both speakers would be less than 2 ft away from the back wall and one a little over 1 ft away from the sidewall...



Thank you so much for your advice

Hi Steve,
I wish to inform you that I made a big mistake. Eager to radically change, reluctant to spend too much, influenced by a number of enthusiastic reviews, I eventually purchased a pair of Spendor D7. Very appealing at first, after a while they proved to be lean and almost inexpressive - I dare not imagine that the amplifier (Exposure 3010S2 Pre + 2Mono Power), new as well, might contribute to such a disappointing outcome...
So I regret I didn't go for the Tannoy Prestige Turnberry GR Limited Edition, which are no more available. I could fall back on the Turnberry standard or opt for the updated version of my old Cheviot, so-called Legacy Cheviot. Did you happen to listen to any of them?
Best Regards
Paolo
