Thread: acoustic characteristics of Tannoy Prestige series

Boy this site has a lot of Chris's and each seem to be interested in Tannoy which is pretty cool. ps: check your PM

Here is some FYI Doctorjohn Cheaptubeaudio: Audio Reviews and More: Overview: Tannoy (Prestige Series) Westminster Canterbury, Part I

Hi Chris,

As a friend of mine stated that he talked to the dealer listed below, about the same question, and was told that each of the Tannoy's, not matter the range!, has a very similar sonics, it just depends upon the size of ones room?, others I'm certain will have their opinions as well, but I don't think it hurts to ask someone that actually carries them - good luck on finding the truth of the matter for yourself:

Its not just room size, but also about your expectations on bass and dynamic performance. Tannoys generally do not overload the room, so if you like a full bodied deep bass and huge dynamics just get the big ones. But yes they do have a consistent flavour.

Great points on all counts there - Mark.

And valid ones to say the least........
