The Tannoys are just the right height for my listening position because the dual concentric speakers fire directly at my ear level plus they're a sealed box design which keeps the bass boom to a minimum.
Sound-wise they're a bit on the woolly side but the graphic (don't swear) on my old JVC amp sorts that out quite nicely. The thing that impresses me the most about them though is the amazing soundstage they present, the panning of all the musical parts can be pinpointed almost exactly, to be honest, I've never experienced anything like this kind of accuracy before and I'm enjoying it greatly, it's almost like wearing a giant pair of headphones.
I know none of the gear I use could really be described as hi-fi as it's cheap and cheerful but for me, a musician of over 40 years it's always been about finding equipment I can live with and I definitely think I can live with this setup for the time being.
Thanks for all your magnificent help, it's been truly appreciated.
great choice , friend of mine has built the most massive organ in his room . probably over 20 foot wide and 10 foot high. he uses tannoy dc2000 for the speakers in it and a sub and wow , you should hear it . its unbelievably good .
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
