Andrew Everard:
idc:Such kit is for massive rooms and show.
And indeed shows...
Hi Guys,
Andrew.From which show was this shot taken? Looks like the Tannoy's are being partnered with some seriously Esoteric components...Including the G-0Rb Rubidium master-clock,if i'm not mistaken.
Funnily enough,i recently visited someone on the south coast who owns the Westminster Royal's complete with Tannoy super-tweeters & driven by McIntosh's C-1000 & MC-501 amps.Have to say their sound grew on me.
They're quite revealing in an understated way & certainly not forward or shouty.Music & particularly vocals are presented in an airy,fluid,natural & open fashion.However,i understand Tannoy advises that to get the best performance from them they need a good deal of running-in/warming-up,should be bi-wired,or more preferably bi-amped & their 5th earthing terminal should be grounded.
I'll be auditioning the Kensington SE's or Canterbury's driven by Aesthetix Calypso & Atlas amps. within the next fortnight.The Canterbury's 96db sensitivity should maximise the potential of the Aesthetix Atlas's 200wpc...I can't wait!
BABUR.
