I've heard a few Tannoys, and I liked the sound... They are highly regarded in certain circles... A studio in NYC was one of the places I heard a pair... And they were very coherent and musically accurate speakers... Of course, they were expensive... Can't remember the model... They were quite large... Speaking of which, has anyone on here ever done a review of the old Hartley Concertmasters, with the 24" woofer?... I think they had the largest commercially available woofer in a HI FI speaker...
