New Family members...

[Bernd]

....have arrived. Well it was bound to happen. After my complete musical satisfaction with my recent new MC I went to sort the other transducer end out. Not that I was unhappy with the Peak Consults Princess Signature. They are to my mind the finest standmounts you can buy. I was just starting to miss some low notes now and then once the wick went up, even though I had two subs plumbed in, something kept telling me that it could be better. Or maybe not better, just needed to take another step on my chosen road. Over the last year I have sort of turned my back on hifi and concentrated on assembling a purely musical system (if that makes sense as one shouldn't be exclusive of the other, but so often is). So yesterday the new members arrived. It took two of us to unpack and slide them into position. Out went the subs and the Manley Snappers to make room for the return of the king i.e my Unison Research Performance. The Unison didn't have enough clout for the Peaks, hence my getting the Manleys, but gels perfectley with the new kids on the block. The boxes they came in were huge and the whole speaker was really well protected. As it should be for the price and since the finish is outstanding and time consuming.
Well I only did a short listen as I am short on time at the moment, but what I have heard fixed a stupid perma-grin on my ugly face. I shall report in a couple of weeks once we got to know each other. Just thought for those who are interested you would like to know.
So here are the beasties:

Tannoy Glenair. From their prestige Range in American Cherry wood and with a 15inch dual concentric driver. The HF unit sits behind the cone in the centre and is a compression driver. So the cone acts as a horn and the whole sound comes from a single source.

Hope everyone is well.

Peace
