They can't be compared with 10inch DC 'speakers of old. The cabinets are better for a start (Tannoy didn't do cabs very well in the past and they'd be the first to agree!) and the driver design extracts greater and cleaner bass than the older 10 inchers. Married to a not insubstantial cab volume, they're not the compromise you might think. I was mightily impressed by them. I have already penned a design for some American black Walnut short stands to raise them 150mm (needed for our listening position) and will have those completed in a week or so. They will be designed to exactly match the profile of the Turnberrys so it looks like an extension of the 'speaker.
Congrats Paul, i'm sure you'll be very pleased with your Turnberry's. I would be very interested in your stands, that's something i was thinking about, but afaik there is nothing available commercially.
