Tannoy or Volti
well there you go. You didn’t like it so I guess you move on and find another set that works for you. Understandable. Don’t get guilt tripped into buying something you don’t want @charles007100

Tannoy or Volti
@charles007100 why have you stopped pursuing the Tannoy?  
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This year I’ve seemingly upped my listening when it comes to female vocals driven music but I've added a post rock, experimental HipHop and some electronic stuff in there   Here are some of my most listened albums this year: Cina Soul - Did I L... 
Sonus vs fr5

Can't relate  
Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market?

What's ideal size for a listening room?
A room with these ratios is ideal: Height - 1m Width - 1.618m Length - 2.618m   Extrapolate that to your room and the bigger room is best for. Also a larger room means the room modes are more spread out which makes room treatment less of a pa...
