Hi from Cambridge

[Katar83]

Posting as its apparently necessary to post elsewhere.

I'm based in Cambridge, always had a soft spot for B&W and Denon but recently got my hands on some old school transmission line speakers which blew my mind and I very much doubt I'll ever be able to go back to 'standard' speakers :)

No favourite music here and enjoy a bit of everything at the right time but very much a fan of films and their soundtracks, nothing beats good spatial film audio, if I had to give an example, Kingdom of Heaven comes to mind right away.

Hello Luke. Welcome to AOS.

Which TL speakers did you get? They can be impressive.

Join in any chat that interests you, there's a lot going on.


Enjoy the forum,

Got a pair of TDL Studio 2s, they are spectacular speakers and work really well with my B&W DM110, I've got them as front speakers instead of a pair of DM110, there is another pair of DM110 at the rear, big Polk Audio center, a fairly large KEF 30B Sub and two old school Wharfedale as surround back. Literally every speaker sound so much better with these TDL speakers but the DM110 just sound like it was designed to work with the TDLs. All of it is beautifully driven by my old school Denon AVR optical :)
I've never heard of TL speakers until recently and got them accidentally and pretty much free. I will be definitely keeping them, I've built my custom multimedia cabinet from scratch a few months ago and will have to redo the sides to fit the Studios but that's already decided. I've been enjoying Pat Metheny - Secret Story today and its like listening to a new album with this new setup, I'm chuffed to bits :)

Welcome to AoS Luke,

Pleased you are enjoying your TDL transmission line speakers, but in saying you have a soft spot for B&W designs, did you not listen to the B&W DM2 and DM2a (also transmission-line designs)?

Enjoy the Forum

Hi Barry,

I did not, to be honest I wasn't even aware of transmission line speakers until recently but very happy to finally find these TDL speakers, they sound amazing and now sit in my rebuilt custom media cabinet.
I'll make sure to keep an eye for these B&Ws too, its down to personal preference but I always liked B&W sound, its got that specific warmth to it which drawn me to them and I even got a set of PX7 recently and can say that all of their products that I've ever used produce this very specific warm sound, from 1980 speakers to 2020 headphones :)
