Went out on a Mission then it came over the Tannoy

[admin_exported]

Initial thoughts was for Mission mx3's to replace mission 751's and to get a Marantz 6004 amp. I took the 751 with me to Richer Sounds and had the chance to get a great demo swapping the 751 for mx3 but I was not as impressed as I could have been. Then a pair of Tannoy mercury V4 were plugged in and it was night and day. The Marantz is now at home with the Tannoys and I am a very happy bunny. The price was excellent as well...thoroughly recommend Richer Sounds Middlesborough.

Glad you found some new speakers for your setup. What did you prefer about the Tannoys to the Mx3 and 751? Deeper bass?

Looks?

The 751's are very clear and bright but lack bass, the mx3's sounded a bit 'muddy' in the bass and they did not have the clarity of the 751's. The Tannoys had the brightness of the 751's and the solid bass that I was looking for. My rock now really rocks. Looks are fine and the Tannoys are just a little taller that the 751's on their stand.

It's Middlesbrough. And that shouldn't set off the filter!

That gives me giggles. Obviously, the town needs to change its name because it's not P/C.

Automatic word filters are soooo web 1.0...

Anyone have an idea how the Tannoy Mercury V4 compares to the Tannoy DC4T?
