Tannoy Prestige Stirling


Fortunate today for the opportunity to listen to these (thanks to Simply Stereo outside of Chicago).  Don't know much about Tannoy but will be delving a little deeper after this.  Very impressive.  I think one of those speakers that is somewhat music dependent.  They were just outstanding with jazz, vocals, acoustic music - Lyle Lovett, Miles Davis.  Maybe not so much for rock - Genesis, Decemberists.  Fit and finish amazing.  10" dual concentric drivers.  91 db sensitive leans towards the more sensitive speaker types i'm interested in.   Primaluna tube integrated and streaming Roon.  Would love to hear this setup with vinyl. 

Anybody care to chime in about their more conventional models?

I own a pair of Tannoy FSMs built in the late 80's. 15" dual concentric
with a 2nd 15" woofer. Powered by my Cary 120 MK11S or Pass
Labs kit 8 watt class A monoblocks. Biwired with Kimber 8ts custom
split to 3/5 tweeter/woofer. If you missed the home interview on youtube
with Nelson Pass you may enjoy it if you are a Tannoy fan. Episode 4 or 6 I believe. Merry CHRISTMAS!!
