So we know how the Westminster's and Canterburys sound thanks to Paul, but how do the Kensingtons and lower models compare? Does the entire line have the same sonic signature but to lesser degrees?

The Westminster , Canterbury and Kensington's are with Alnico drivers so they share the same sonic signature.:)
 
Have to say, after a few texts with Mike today, he has piqued my curiosity on the Tannoys...
 
A pic from an old setup with Canterburys ( hard edge) , before I become an audio distributor . My best results were with SS amplification .

For those looking for some history on the Tannoy speakers, I found these links.

Chris ... Thank you for share.:)
The Tannoy is oldest Loud speaker company in the world. the Tannoy was founded by Guy R. Fountain in 1926 and has been making loudspeakers now for over 88 years. 'Tannoy' was trademarked as a name in 1928, and was located in London until 1975, when it relocated to Coatbridge, Scotland, where it still resides.

From Jeff Day's review.

Its the first speaker that my wife actually "liked", based on looks of course. She never liked the R2D2 looking speakers, B&W 800's, Wilson, Vapor Nimbus,
Emerald Physics CS3 MkII :D​
etc.. she likes speakers that look like furniture.

So mine too. Also now she can hide behind my speakers so she can spy on me :ninja::ninja:
 
My friend from England said "Tannoy" is a synonym for speakers. He said, "if someone is throwing a party and needs a sound system, they will call a mate and say 'hey old chap, you have a tannoy?'"

My wife likes the looks of Tannoy's too. Says they remind her of beautiful furniture.
