Tannoy Stirlings on the way!


Hi, everybody.  Longtime member, first time caller.

I just ordered up a pair of Tannoy Stirling GR floorstanders, and, frankly, I'm looking for people to rejoice with!

I'm a speakers guy, through and through.  I've got Dynaudios, Focals, B&Ws, Totems, Wharfedales, Klipsches, and even my old Polk 5Bs, the first speakers I ever bought, way back in the '80s.  I wanted to try something very different, and the Prestige line Tannoys really spoke to me.  The coincident drivers, the old-school-ish paper cone, the old-school cabinets and ports.  I'm really looking forward to hearing how they soundstage!

I thought about getting the Turnberrys, but the Stirlings should be just about the perfect size for my [extremely irregular] room.  Especially since I already have a pair of subs.

I'm pretty chuffed.

It's a certain sound right? I've been curious about how the wave guide could take over at like 1000 hz in some models? I like mids with PUNCH but I've also heard pure horns sound so beautiful that I would sacrifice that punch. Is that kind of the case with Tannoy?  

@mulveling thank you for the detailed information. I learned more about these speakers in your few concise paragraphs than all the videos and articles I’ve read.  Appreciate you taking the time.
