If I decide to offer them commercially (a little work to do on the design, including crossovers, before that happens as they need to be as good as I can get them) I'd probably like to pre-fix them with the "Reference" tag. Burying my nose in a music dictionary, we have a few that might or might not fit the bill!:
Cadenza (already taken by KEF?), Coda (ditto!), Concerto (twee), Choral, Prelude, Harmony, Adagio, Symphony, Cantabile, Cantata, Etude, Oratorio, Rubato, Serenade, Sonata, Unison, and Vivace.
They will probably end up with little plaques proudly proclaiming them as one of the above if they were to make it onto the product list.
KEF did the Concerto. Quite a nice speaker, too! And the Cadenza. ------------------ And the Cantata. They had a C-series, way back when.

Sounds like the latest line-up from Starbucks or Costa-Coffee Jerry :lol:Quote:

I really hope these speakers sound great too and in a way wish this style could be put into production. I think the price would be horrendous though and although Tannoy would have difficulty matching the finish as seen in the photos, I bet a completed pair of Tannoy made production models would cost £10K or more - I mean, the Glenairs look so boring and bland in comparison to me...
Well done!!!!!! :clap:
Paul, stellar effort and way better than your last pair which i was not a fan of, almost makes me want to keep mine and commission a set of cabs from you. :)Quote:

Winston or Churchill ~ on it's own, something proud and decidely British, especially Tannoy's heritage as a British brand.
Beauchamp or Beaulieu ~ like that because your cabs and Tannoy's sound ''beautiful'', hence the 'beau' part of the name, nice French pronounciation and beautiful language, much preferable to Italian (sorry again Marco). :rolleyes:
Velvellatio ~ Yes, i can hear you say ''WTF !!!'', say it quick you'll get a Vetvet Suck, the risque name really suits the sum of it's whole, just close your eyes when you listen and use the power of your imagination, when you open your eyes, the 'horns' don't die, just don't let the wife see it. :D
....and all the above rings well with Reference which you would to put on after it.
I'm liking "Reference Beaulieu".Quote:
