I haven't used these speakers but based on price/reviews the Tannoy is a BX2 should be better. In the April issue of WHF there is a comparison of 7 standmount speakers up to £200, which includes information on positioning. The follow on to your Tannoy, the V1i, is one of those reviewed. possibly worth a read?

in your opinion tannoys sounds better than monitors?

can you share me a link with the comparison?

thanks

Sorry, I made a mess of my last post. I meant to say that the Bxs are pricier and and by general reputation should be better- but I haven't heard them. As I say, the Tannoy V1i is reviewed in the current WHF magazine, and although it got 4 stars, Dali Zensor 1s and Q Acoustics 2020is were more favoured, with the QAs edging ahead for sound quality and having greater ease of placement. The BXs were not in the test. .

Additionally, if you click on my posting history you will see I took part in a thread called "Question to Matthew Piano (and others)". If you go throuigh the thread far enough Matthew and one or two other members gave interesting opinions on the BXs, including sound quality and positioning. That might help you a lttle on the BXs. Sorry I confused you with the previous post.

Also if you look up the BXs on the reviw section of WHF website then look under theYour Opinion tab there are a lot of detailed reviews by those who have bought them, especially one by jason2202 which seems to reflect the same view as those in the thread I mentioned. ie there is a view they need to be played at quite a high volume to excel.

I was running the Tannoy V1 speakers myself for about 5 or 6 months, forgot what amp I was using though! The speakers are decent budget speakers but I wouldn't have them on the end of a Rotel amplifier only because I believe the amp deserves better speakers than both you have mentioned.

Try Ushers S520 within your price range the will be the best valued one. I auditioned one power by a Exposure 2010s . The sound was amazing and articulate with good staging. It comes with great finish and color options.to me one of the best bookshelf upto 500$. Try demoing one..
