Art,

How important do you feel the ST-200 Supertweeter is to the overall sound of the Tannoy speakers?
 
Joe, I loved my Westies without the ST-200 but find they add air, space and dimension that to me is a plus to the overall. I know others who prefer without but my experience is positive.
 
Thank you, I've heard similar opinions.

As you have probably seen, you will find wildly varying opinions on this....but I think Art sums it up perfectly. Really, they do make a nice difference, but the speakers are essentially so good, that you are not missing anything/much without them.
 
Thanks Taylor. I've been obsessing a little about the Cantebury GR lately. I'd love the Westies but they are too big and heavy for me. I love Alnico drivers.
 
I'm sure those are wonderful too. But a quote from the above introduction of the new speakers has me thinking. AND, they are probably less expensive too. I think there were the Ardens.

"To my ears these are a nicer sounding speaker than the Prestige GRFs (sorry Tannoy) and their studio heritage screams out. I was particularly impressed when the high frequency output was upped a little and the speakers opened out and felt much more expansive."

I'm kind of partial to this one.

Haven't seen any pricing mentioned but you would think the difference in the cabinets themselves would make up a great deal of the price even if the internals were the same for the most part. Those Prestige series cabinets would be very expensive to build and then ship. Well worth a listen if you kind find a dealer close before you buy blind. Might be a while before they show up outside of the EU anyway.
 
Thank you Jack. I can't buy blind and do plan on hearing them. If I do anything, it will not be until the end of the year, at the earliest. My JBLs are awesome and I've been playing Amos Lee, among others today and absolutely loving the sound. My MXR-20's are killing it.

The Arden looks to be about the same size profile as your JBL's so at least the stands might be the same. Did you ever have time to contact the guys at A&M about stands for the JBL's?
 
They look nice but I am worried about the open, frame design. I'm trying to find out what dallasjustice used with his speakers.

Maybe it's an allusion but the A-1 looks like it has a mostly solid top. I would think you would use some sort of isolation device on the corners anyway. Aren't the Sound Anchors open frame too?
 
I heard mixed result on super tweeter as well, I believe Jim Smith and Jeff Day used them and didn't like the result. So far I don't find I needed but I really do like the look of it . I guess I need to try on my set first :)
