If someone listed a set of Tannoy Mayfair (T225) i might be intrested then

Some of them scream in the upper mid and lower top, like Kans but LOUDER - Dover and LGM's for example, both needing the more modern crossover tuning. the Turnberry SE's don't do this at all.....

Now Andre, you're taunting me with your avatar to get a reaction. OK, I've bit.... What's the significance of an F307 with METERS??? I've never seen a standard one this endowed....... P.S. I'm a TWAT!!!! It's the Series 7 tape deck......... - Senior moment methinks.......

Dave i dont wanna sound off but a lot of your posts are showing an oldish man, if you know what i mean.

I've been around this industry for over forty years, so I think I'm entitled to feel my audio age. Furthermore, re-training over 50 is fraught with problems and this is playing on my mind at present.

P.S. You try your ageing hippy looks and music tastes on todays teens and see how you get on - little beggars think that anyone over 25 is ancient and make no bones about telling you!!!!!!!!!!!

Not taunting i just thing they are the best looking things ever.I don't give a flying fook what people say about em.Far throw from the shit available these days.

It is the bottom section of the 'S7' open Reel..The '722'/'722H' & '724' have amplifiers built in. The '702'/ '702H' & '704' don't.I have a '724' i'm looking for a '704'.There's also a '713'/'713H' mono of it.

Dave i'm only going on 42 but over the last five years i found my hearing has altered, a lot of your posts say the same about thing i dissagree with but probably wont in another ten years, it was just an observation not a pop at yer

Nice, Dave, but they're mere toys compared to Canterburys or Lockwood Majors!

I might consider buying a pair for the kitchen

Bet they sound smoother though

Marco, I've heard all sorts from DC driver Tannoys. The cheap-as-chips old DC2000's and 3000's are fantastic fun for not much money and have good bass to die for IMO.. The Monitor Reds, IIILZ's and also the LGM's owned by HiFi dave will take your fillings out if you let them..

The smaller Prestige line seem to have benefitted from a substantial re-voicing and IMO they sound wonderful for it. Little mid colouration (although Harbeths are better here and so they should be), a smooth top that you only hear when it's there and a surprisingly tactile bass for such seemingly hollow boxes IMO.

Put it this way, there's more weight and far less squeal than the Devons you have (IIRC). Great for your workshop and/or kitchen......

Fun is right - they kind of chuck it all at you & you can't help but love 'em

Hi Dave,

The Devons definitely sound as you describe, but they're fun with it!

My Lockwoods are a different ball-game altogether, though, and have a finesse, refinement and all-round musical abilities that is eons ahead of Devons or Kensingtons - it would be like comparing a Bentley to a Ford Focus!!
