Think the Tannoys are a case of love or hate. I quite liked the ones Ive heard but can understand why some wouldnt. At least they are fairly efficient and dont need huge reserves of power to work, although they will improve a bit if you have some extra welly. My speakers are extremely efficient but still work a bit better with a bigger amp, Current reserve wise

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Hi All,
A little tale of Tannoy woes.
Before I had the Kensington's, I had a pair of Glenairs, And I have to say; even though they are from the Tannoy Dual concentric range, they were amongst the worst speakers I had heard in my system, bright, brash, in your face,and tonally unbalanced etc, nothing I did with them made them listenable in my system, the final straw came when My wife who is usually of a calm, and laid back manner' threatened to do them harm after having being subjected to hours of tiresome sonic torture from me fiddling with them, trying aimlessly to get them to perform even acceptable. It was then that I knew it wasn’t just me experiencing what I was clearly hearing!
Safe to say, we parted company soon after' me and the speakers that is; After receiving the Kensington’s direct from Tannoy, ie; brand new, not run etc, I first unpacked them, sat them on the floor in my room, and asked my wife to sit and have the first listen, if she didn’t like them from the start, I knew keeping them after that, that I would be on a hiding to nothing, so after the track had finished, the silence was deafening, [cant remember now what it was at the time] I asked her what she thought, and I quote, "yes, their good" which as you can imagine was music to my ears, as that was also my first impression of them, after a bit of time they got better with every month that passed, until they finally got to the steady state they seem to be at now.
My point of this story is; not all Dual concentric are made equal.
As usual, just my ramblings, and my own personal experiences.

Cheers, Tom. I can get to the main cities pretty easily due to having free rail travel so let's see what opens up!
