Any Opinions on Tannoy Speakers?


I'm finding that the speaker companies without large marketing budgets don't get much review press. Does anyone have opinions on the Tannoy d500, or any other Tannoy speakers? I'll be in a fairly large room with a McIntosh amp. I thought the d500 design might also appease my wife. Thanks.

I settled on the D500s and could not be happier. They are sweet with any music, good bass, even at low volumes, and not harsh in the high end like so many speakers today. I would have preferred the D700s, but the box was bigger and my wife would not have been so happy. But the D500s are plenty good enough. The sound is so natural and clean. Lyle Lovett sings from inside my living room and Bach is smooth. I don't hear speakers; I hear music.

I'm also very pleased with the deal I found online for these speakers. If you're in the market for some new equipment I recommend searching online for something that is not (or is, if you're lucky) virgin in the box unopened for significant savings. Just make sure you feel comfortable with the seller. Cheers.
Thanks. I like both the d500 and d700, but the d700 has and edge over the d500. It just seems to come together more completely. Although the d700 is more expensive and larger which might be too big for my wife's approval.
