Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?

I think ribbon tweeters do a great job with cymbals

 My Tannoy Canterbury’s with a pair REL 12” subs, goose bumps  experience whenever I cue up MFSL UltraDisc One-Step 45rpm Vinyl :-) 

@lalitk I’ve been tangentially interested in subs for my Tannoys for a while, but still haven’t done it yet. How much have you compared with versus without? And are you using the Canterbury venting ports open or closed? Was also wondering if a comparison via Youtube might be useful - have you come across any such videos?

The Canterbury has such a satisfying, full bass and midrange (midbass and up) compared to other Tannoys - but of course it doesn’t extend too deep. 

As for Tin Pan Alley - I hoped to never hear it again, but could possibly stomach it just one more time for a Tannoy comparison like that ;) 

Tin Pan Alley is a great song. I use it to show off my system. All the time sounds great on my Vanderteen Quatros With Aesthetix Components, and the MoFi Ultra disc is An amazing source

Enjoy the music

I just spent some time with the Dali Epikore line, probably my favorite lottery speakers right now, they have a rubikore line that doesn’t give up too much for us working class folk. Is he using a tube amp? I hear it humming in the background 

Electrostatics, planar-magnetics, ribbons, horns.

But it’s not just the snare wires you’re hearing, but also the wires vibrating against the resonant (bottom) head on the snare drum.

As an aside, to hear what a snare drum sounds like with the snare wires disengaged (via the drum's "throw-off"), give a listen to "Tears Of Rage" by The Band.
