TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?

“Damn I got my nose out of joint for an article from 2006 lol I need to pay more attention.”

@jond,  you and me both…lol. Sorry for the confusion. I removed the post to avoid any further confusion. 

“I heard Tannoy will give up the Hi-Fi part of their iconic brand. They would stop the public part for developping the "Pro" side.”

@senza, 

Where did you hear this? 

It’s nice to read all the accolades and love for the brand. I absolutely adore my Canterbury GR’s, there aren’t many speakers that are capable of connecting you to the music so intimately and emotionally like the way Canterbury’s does so effortlessly.

Anyone considering Tannoy, should buy Tannoy :-) If there is any sense of urgency, it is now for anyone seriously considering Tannoy. Grab a pair made in Scotland  before you start seeing production runs from Asian continent.

Thanks for your post. Some folks just can’t see beyond price and specs which is quite fine, to each his/her own :-)

The music and the associated components in your system is an emotional experience for many enthusiasts in this hobby. As a fellow Canterbury’s owner, I totally agree; the oiled walnut cabinets becoming more beautiful after each wax treatment, like a fine vintage piece of art. Not to mention how incredibly musical, dynamic and real-life like they sound in my room. I have not come across another speaker (except the mighty Westminster) that can produce realistic bass like the 15" dual-concentric driver in Canterbury’s.

I do not know where you located but both Kensington and Turnberry are available in USA. Which B&W model you’re considering? Here in US, B&W’s are often paired with McIntosh and Classe gear.
