    Hiro,

    I've heard the Tannoy TD-12 extensively. My friend had a pair in situ until recently. He got the Acapella Campanella to replace them. I can tell you this. The TD-12 is one heckuva speaker. Its got all the sonic fireworks, but on top of that it sounds very believable ie tone is true. Imaging is world class, and it can through a full scale image - no surprise given the dual concentric driver. Most speakers cannot deliver the scale the way these tannoys can. Also, the TD-12 has that rare quality of aliveness without generating fatigue. My friend loves the Campanella's but I think he really misses the Tannoys. I think the TD-12 truely excels with voice and also violin is to die for.

    Well, if I wanted to have some horns in the house, here's what I'd desire:

    I confess that I've not been a big JBL fan over the years (I remember the colored L100s from my 'yout), but from what I've read, the Everest is a wonderfully neutral speaker.

    Thanks for your insight, Shaggy. I've always been fascinated by Tannoy products. Have you heard any of Prestige series?

    I've never seen or heard of JBL Everest until now. Very cool.



    K2 S9800 @ $25K?.

    I've heard these beatiful speakers with SET monoblocks, and thought it was one of the best sound I've heard in my life. Large relaxed sound with sparkling highs when called upon. Defintely far from JBL that often end up as a garage system.
