I you think the 2" midrange driver can carry the day going from 1 kHz up to 20 kHz then have at em…..I prefer a larger but not to large midrange, between 6" and 7.5" to get the heft from instruments and especially male vocals.
Go to the Tannoy website and look at the spec's. Then check the crossover frequency and you will get my drift...
Maybe Kiddman doesn't understand. Using that same logic, "small drivers that play loud" line array speakers would not need woofers to support the bass. You just put 10 4 inch drivers, line um up and turn up the bass. Right?

I have listend to the Tannoy's at some length and know what they sound like. The midrange is still coming out of a 2" driver…..

"Studios need to be able to play LOUD" ?? there are a lot of studio monitors out there. How come??

Look this isn't about " buttering my bread" I don't carry Sonus Faber, so no butter here. What's on your bread MAN?

It is obvious that Kiddman knows best. You can simply ask him…no doubt he will tell you that the 15" woofer is going to give you fast and tuneful bass plus it will integrate seamlessly with the 2" tweet….I must leave this thread…I fear I am being stalked….
I should add here that I was a dealer for Tannoy and have a little experience with them. Probably not enough to satisfy the KID.
