Which Tannoys, folks?

Ain't that the truth!

What the high-end audio industry needs to do is stop pandering to the snobs with more money than sense, who buy into the 'prestige value' of certain brands and treat audio equipment as an 'aspirational' thing, and get back to ground roots and start appealing again to your average PROPER music and audio enthusiast, who's in the game for the RIGHT reasons and who wants the 'biggest bang for their buck', not a 'fancy' badge to admire and a cosy feeling of smug superiority, because they own £15k speakers, or whatever!!

Unless that happens, or until that happens, the high-end audio industry will go the way of the dodo, and all we'll be left with is fooking computer audio and the iPod/mobile phone generation. What a dreadful thought........

Hi Marco

Absolutely spot on. I know I am a dinosaur but it grieves me see our superb hobby dumbed down. Computers are work and work is a pain in the arse. Music is pure pleasure and should be kept well away from computers, certainly in my world.

Hell will freeze over before I buy a download or go into computerised music. Computer components are purchased by the pound and should be treated accordingly. However, shooting myself in the foot I own an i Pod contradicting everything I have just said. What a humbug!!
