About to pull the trigger on Tannoy

[joeinid]

Welcome to the forum Mark!

Thank you for joining.

[RedSectorA]

I'm in the GTA, Habs all the way for me..... ;-)

I heard Paul's Canterbury's straight out of the box, sounded damn good.

No such thing as the perfect speaker, tough decisions ahead for Paul.

At least he is probably having a fun weekend with what might be the most beautiful speakers on the planet, especially parked right next to those big blue meters.

Man the Habs are popular throughout Canada!

Welcome aboard Mark, yes Paul must be having lots of fun listening to music as he is awfully quiet right now.

I sincerely hope your speaker journey has come to an end. As you may well know, there is no such thing as a perfect speaker. If a person can find speakers that make them listen to just the music and forget where it's coming from then(to me)that would be the perfect speaker.

Enjoy the Tannoys and hopefully they will bring you the magic that you seek.

Kind of funny you are the guy from Vancouver saying Go Habs Go and I'm the guy from Montreal, Hockey Mecca, not saying a word. I'm just one of the five guys in Montreal not interested in hockey.

Thing is my blood is Quebecois, and Montreal is my party town. I grew up with the Montreal Canadians, and this is something you can never forget.
The West coast is now my home, for its splendid nature (mountains, trees, Pacific ocean, ...), but my hockey heart is in Montreal, plus much more.
I'm a true Canadian, and loyal to my sources.

Same situation for me too NorthStar. left Quebec at age 16 in 1980 and still call it home and I am unable to switch over to leafs. The only thing that is not the same for me, no beautiful mountains, trees and Pacific here in Ontario. I try to make it out way your every winter to hit the slopes or the summer and ride up Duffy Lake Road in Pemberton.

This is getting off topic, Long live Tannoy Dual Concentric, especially in Paul's sound room.... ;-)

Hi Mark, you can call me Bob. ...And welcome to a very friendly audio site.

I was born in Joliette, Quebec; forty miles northeast of Montreal, and lived there until age 20. I left for British Columbia in 1975 and live there since.
On weekends we went partying in Montreal, and went to the Forum also to watch hockey games, with Dad (may he rest in peace).
Our family, three boys, two girls, Mum and Dad; we were big hockey fans, and back then when I was living at Dad's home, the Montreal Canadians had some fantastic players (you probably remember too).

Anyway, this is still my team even if for many years I wasn't watching. And Tannoys goes along just fine with the Habs.

[Mark Jones]

I wonder if Paul will start a new thread, "I pulled the trigger on Tannoy" that would certainly be music to my ears. Not the best kind of music but still damn good.

Do you mean actually take a gun and shoot the speakers?

Mark...The music coming out from Tannoy hits me hard but no pain. If I was looking for music to my ears I wouldn't sell any of my previous speakers. This Tannoy ...I listen with my heart not with my ears...period. Also leaves me smile on my face.

[Mark Jones]

Great reply Paul.... :-)

thats great paul!!! im very happy that you finally found your speakers.
just too many choices out there, and less and less places to go hear them, makes finding the right pair very hard.

Paul, you have to stop putting caps on The Music as you no longer own them.

Seriously I'm very happy you finally found your cup of tea, enjoy!

[dlb2]

Sounds like we have a winner!


So when do the O/96's arrive?

That would be the speakers for the month of June.

Thanks Steve and Dan....Sorry I'm so used to put capital on Music. hehe

That's right. I forgot it's every other month isn't it? Silly me.

Just having some fun buddy! Glad you like the Tannoy's.

[NorthStar]

Paul, you know what would be cool if possible and you don't mind too much? ...A short video with a tune playing through the Tannoys.

Sure Bob. Would you prefer the SS or Tube ? And Song of my choice ?

[NorthStar]

It's all in your ballpark Paul; I didn't specify anything because I fully trust your own judgement.

Viva freedom!

Bob... I only have this crappy camera mic to capture the sounds so you will not hear the bass or any detail.

Here is the video for you oh..Please watch it with the highest resolution available on your computer.

[sharkmouth]

Paul, bout time you waxed them isn't it?

[Rtan]

They sounded very good with Mc amps. I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing Paul.

[NorthStar]

Paul, that is awesome! Thanks a bunch for taking the time and share with us.

* My resolution is 1920 by 1080p (2K). ...Sorry, I don't have an Ultra HD (4K) display just yet.

<<>> But the picture of your video is gorgeous, and the sound too (female voice and acoustic classical guitar) along with your room, your Tannoys, your blue lights, you, and your wife.

You did a tremendously beautiful job!

[Paul]

Another one for you Bob. I like this one better

[NorthStar]

I truly and sincerely love this Paul! ...You made my day!

[Mark Jones]

The system looks insanely good, gorgeous.

[NorthStar]

Mark, your system from your avatar is not too shabby either. ...Got a bigger picture emphasizing it under a 'luminous' perspective?

[Mark Jones]

Thanks Bob,

I will get some more pics up soon. But I do have a bunch of stuff coming over the next month or two.

Magico S1, S3, Q3
Tannoy Canterbury's
Allnic A5000 DHT mono's

[joeinid]

Paul,

WOW!

[Mike]

Very cool Paul! Sounds like music to my ears!

I'd choose B: go big or go home!

[dlb2]

Stick with the Canterbury's and get yourself a nice turntable.

[Paul]

Mark. Since you brought this up why don't you give me an option B same price as option A ? Thank you and you are so generous.

Out of curiosity Mark can Paul's room take the Westminster? The room looks so small with the Canterbury.

That's the problem, I don't know and I am a little worried about it too. i have definitely been leaning towards Paul keeping the Canterbury's and saving a few pennies doing so, but you know Paul... :-)
