Hi guys
Thanks for the comments re me system :-)
The st100's were a tad odd to start with it seemed as if they put out a high pitch stream above the music but twas just a question of tuning to suit me my room and system. The Tannoy's are 92db and drop off at around 16k I found that setting my St100's to 89db and 14k gave a nice merge point taking the edge away yet blending nicely giving an extra shine and air to the presentation.
I would definitely miss them. I would like new horn cabs for the tannoy's though
I'm blind in my left ear so don't shout I wont see you !
