I know Tannoy is born to play classical music for most of their models, but I think there must be 1 or 2 of them which are good for pop music. I am looking for a pair of good floorstanding Tannoy for playing pop and female vocal. I auditioned Definition DC8T last week yet I was disappointed...

I bumped into an adaptor for Power Amplifiers a while ago yet forgotten the link. Does anyone know where I can find such product? It's used to step down the power from the speaker terminals of your power amp so the lowered power can drive your headphone. It means you'll save the money $$ for...

Can anyone comment on the acoustic characteristics (best state the strength and weakness)of the pretige models of Tannoy's, especially Stirling, Greenwich, Eaton, Chesworth, Berkely? I looks like such information does not exist on the internet. Users of Prestige series tend to only stick to one...

I bumped into a pair of Tannoy Arden MkII (15" DC386 drivers 8ohms impedence) on Yahoo Auction. The edges of the Ardens have been refoamed with non-original material by the seller, as he mentions. Would be grateful if someone could tell me how Arden sound and if they suit me. I listen to...
