    I'm Edward.

    Default My Tannoys grew up

    Or rather my Eatons found its father.

    Father, by the name of Berkeleys, found a few days ago. Now settling in well to its new home. It is so pleased that it is singing like an angel demonstrating its ability to add scale, texture, weight and sheer unadulterated joy to well known music. No issue with its wide 15 inch HBDs over powering a medium size room with bass. It's baby, the Eatons, are similar in ability to convey detail, range and joy, but the Berkeleys add immense presence and immediacy. In a word - stunning.

    The Berkeleys resided in the same room for nearly 30 years and collected a fair amount of dust and woodwork needs a small bit of TLC but the drivers look and sound mint. Grills seem to have been left on all the time.

    Now on temp stands so drivers are at ear height. Need to sort out some plinths.



    Father and son showing off.

    Berkeleys are the Mummies, Ardens are the Daddies

    Oh dear, I'm obviously being gender fluid Roy. Woke is my middle name.

    You are of course correct. Need to find some Ardens so it will be a family affair.

    They certainly match their surroundings, no possible WAF issues there surely?

    Make the Eatons look tiny, and they are pretty chunky speakers.

    Lots of space for them to work in, must sound outstanding.

    You could put together one of the best surround sound systems ever.
