I think you would find either very satisfying. But I'm prejudiced: I've been listening since the early Seventies and haven't found anything for the money or anywhere near the money that beats Tannoy Dual Concentrics. You might also want to consider Tannoy System 15 DMT II (from their professional monitor line, not sold in hi-fi shops). They retail for over $5K, but I've seen NIB ones on eBay going for less than half that. And of course there's nothing wrong with a pair of older Alnico Monitor Golds if you can be certain of their condition (Tannoys are $$$$ to recone!).Regards. Joel Tatelman.
Tannoy D700, 500 How do they sound?
I'm using two mono tube amps, 35-40 watts, trioded 6550Cs each, and wondering about suitable speakers, $2-4k, that are smooth, fun, dynamic, deep tight bass, for classical & jazz. Anyone heard the Tannoys? I've enjoyed Paradigm 100, Nova Applause, VMPS RM1. -Thanks!
