| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. Cheviots have the 12" driver, the Turnberry, 10". Veerossi doesn't say what aspect of performance he's trying to better. If it's bass response, the Cheviots might be a bit better in his room. Or maybe the Canterbury? That's a lot more cash outlay... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. If you're considering a change in speakers, why not go up the line in Tannoy? Try the new Cheviots with the 12" driver, or even higher up. Look at Latik's system, he's got some very nice Tannoys that he loves.I would definitely try that first, if... | |
| Bottleneck Headphone Amp Repair I agree with the two previous posters. In the construction manual, there is probably guidelines to follow if there are any problems with your project.Check it out, and do apprise us of how you fare.Regards,Dan | |
| High end Class D amps? I use Class D Audio for center and surround speakers. They sound great in that capacity. I have another Class D amp with upgraded power supply and two modules bridged for mains, it sounds very good, but I haven't used it for months now since my 3C... | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy Sounds to me like you have spent little to no time listening to Tannoy speakers. | |
| Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass? I like my 12" Tannoy HPD Dual Concentric, they do a great job in my large room. Oh, it's a two way, by the way. | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Musicfan 2349,Hi, I'm glad you found out what you needed to. On the other hand, if you want to get an idea how Tannoys sound, I live on North Whidbey Island, about an hour and a half away from Seattle.You would be welcome to visit my humble abode,... | |
| Using a HT system with a tube preamp I'm with tgrisham, I also use a Modwright Line Stage with HT pass-through. I have a preamp-processor, and the front two channels go to the Modwright. It sounds crazy, but I use my 3C24 tube amp with HT, since it's sensitivity is about 8db lower th... | |
| Tannoy Monitor Red 15" set up Kanchi, My cabinets are easier to build than the Westminsters, to be sure. I think in the case of your 15" drivers you would want a bit larger enclosure, 200-300 liters. I would do as much research as you can, and be sure to look for info at Hans'... | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Dodgealum, I suspect you will have a much better chance of having a higher performing listening room in your new digs. Many years ago, I changed my listening room from having the system on the long wall, to it being on the short wall.That made my ... | |
| Tannoy Monitor Red 15" set up Kanch, I've only owned two sets of Tannoys, both of them 12", first an MG set, and then what I'm using now, the HPD 315. They are in cabinets that are 150 liter bass-reflex.The cabinets are made from 3/4" MDF laminated to 1 1/8" outer MDF. They e... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... My suggestion is to try listening to some Tannoys. I built some custom 12" HPD speakers. They image like crazy, and have plenty of slam when necessary.Try to give them a listen.Regards,Dan | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance After many decades in audio, I was curious about Audio Technica cartridges. I bought a new AT 440Mlb, and was shocked how good it sounded on my Dynavector 501 arm.I then ordered a new ART-9, and have found my analog front end is much better than I... | |
| New "World Class" 3C24 amp Hi John, all,There are photos on my Virtual System, under "Done For Now", titled "The Summit". After three months, the amp is still all I've ever wanted in an amp. It has hundreds of hours on it by now, and not a single issue, (well except one 3C2... | |
| Speaker upgrade question. I just bought a new KEF Q-650c for my HT system. I'm very impressed with it. You might want to consider the floor standers from that line of speakers.Regards,Dan |
