The Cheviots??? Yes would love to try them.

Might go and take a listen when the current situation eases (might even have enough saved by then as well!)

Just wonder how big a difference in depth and presence I’d get with the Cheviots over what I’ve got now in the Chesters?

No comments from anyone on the Shahinian Arcs I was also considering?

Idol hands and mind..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OegaW3e01EE If that doesn’t get you moving, better check for a pulse....

Sorry for the dumb ass ads at the start, ugh!

Russell, I will comment on the Arcs. Great speakers, but not so much with your current amp I wouldn’t think, although they are much easier to drive than Obelisk on up in the range.

I love Shahinian myself, and many Omni types of speakers. If you decide it might be worth pursuing, certainly try to get some play time with various sources and amps before you commit to them, as they are surely a different presentation to your Tannoys mentioned above. Not sure what all else you may have in your arsenal of gear....

Some get on the Shahinian train and never get off, so they certainly can be end game if one so chooses, then again, I guess anything could be! Have fun!

I've had cheviots, I wouldnt put them above the Scalas,IMO.

Scale and clarity. Try heco direkts..if you can live with the looks.

I remember (well nearly....) seeing Billy Idol at Download a few years back and was most entertaining

Thanks for your point of view. As I say, I heard the Arcs with some Dynavector gear but never with valves.

I guess they aren’t a perfcet match for valves so probably better staying with an easier speaker

Thanks Steve, interested in your thoughts as I’m pretty sure my La Scala’s were previously yours anyway.

I already have the Heco Einklangs in another system and love them. I’ve also heard Direkts and Dreiklangs and very impressed. I should have jumped at the Direkts that were sale a little while back but he who hesitates and all that.

I love the look too but only in White.
