@charles,
Thanks. Your point is also my concern. It seems that people prefer tannoy to B&w.
Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4
Dear Bro,
I'm in a dilemma about which speakers I should take, Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4? I dont have chance to audition those brands at the same dealer so plz give some advices. I'm going to pair speakers with MC 8900. My room is about 19 sqm (3.5m x 5.5m).
One more thing, are Turnberry Gr Speakers much difference from Kensington Gr.
Thank you very much
Steve

@stevevn - a Naim 552/250 pre/power was the amp. They sound more forward than your amp. I have massive bass problems in my small room (4m x 4.5m). The 804 was really the only decent speaker that worked well in the room without bass issues (till I got my latest pair which are semi-active with the active bass having dsp to allow me to tame the bass frequencies that trigger in the room.) |
You are welcome. I’m not down on B &W speakers and I know that many people like them. I have no idea what your listening bias are (We all possess them). I just tried to answer your inquiry between the two choices presented. Tannoy will offer the opportunity to use a wider variety of amplifiers more successfully. Tannoy is both higher sensitivity and have a more amplifier friendly speaker impedance load characteristics. Their implementation of concentric drivers have stood the test of time. Personally I believe that you will get a more natural sound quality with the Tannoy. I understand that others may disagree with this. This is simply my opinion/perspective. Best wishes in your decision making. Charles |
