I shall have a look on a couple of old drives however I fear I have lost the images I took when farting around with my original Reds + New Builds ,As Nial has already eluded not many folks are prepared to take the Big Tin Opener to Silver/Red Xovers ergo images thin on the ground .Quote:

Some interesting discoveries have been made, folks, regarding Reds vs. Golds, so stay tuned - all will be revealed soon! :eyebrows:

Hi Vinnie,
I've got the Golds in at the moment with original crossovers and they're none too shabby - a bit bass-heavy compared to the Reds, and a touch less open and 'out of the box', lacking their wonderfully expressive midrange, but enjoyable nonetheless :)
Mad-boy Dave's going to upgrade the Gold crossovers as per this mod:

I've just waiting on the parts to arrive, which should come this morning or Monday, so we'll see what that brings to the party :cool:
Once I've made my decision on what drivers to go for, which will be done at the latest by the middle of next week, I'll do a full write-up of my findings.
Marco.
Ok, fellow Tannoyistas, tomorrow is 'D-day'... :)
I'll be testing the mods to the original Gold crossovers and seeing what effect it has overall on the performance of the 15" Gold drivers. Then I'll be swapping back to the Reds and making a final decision on which ones, in my opinion, are best (in the context of my system).
Full write-up to follow... I guarantee that it'll be the most comprehensive comparison between vintage Red and Gold Tannoy drivers on the 'Net, so don't miss it! ;)
Marco.
Sounds interesting Marco, it's like 'King Kong V's Godzilla'
