Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?


I'd like to know if any of the Tannoy gurus in Audiogonland could recommend one of the larger 12" or 15" vintage (or modern) models for midfield listening. I have my speakers arranged along the long wall of my 12 x 28' living room on either side of my fireplace, firing across the short dimension, about 9' from drivers to listening position. I had the 10" Glenair for a while (Tulip waveguide), but couldn't seem to get far enough away from the speakers for them to resolve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Bob...make sure your flu is closed on the fireplace...all your bass can be exiting that way. Also, make sure that any glass is covered - especially on the left and right hand sides facing the speaker. It surely sounds like a room problem to me.
