Took a punt on a really well priced pair of Tannoy 609s this week, been wanting to hear a pair of DC speakers for a while but there's no way the budget (or the space in the house) would stretch to a 'proper' pair so all around winner.

I'm sure the price I paid for them is having some sort of reverse expectation bias thing going on but they really are a very enjoyable listen!

Yeah, the low end doesn't go down that far and they are a bit sterile/scooped in the low-mids (in my room, if could get them a bit closer to the walls it'd probably fill out a bit) but geez they don't half do the holographic thing well. Vocals and the top end spacing of stuff is amazing, they throw a super wide stereo field but with really nice placement and a strong centre, at one point, listenting to some Dave Brubeck the other night I actually had to get out of my seat and check what was going on because I didn't believe that the sound could be coming from so far to the left of where the speaker actually was!

Definitely recommended if you can get them for a decent price.
