Tannoy Westminster Royal HE


Hi, I would like to hear your opinions and comments regarding the Tannoy Westminsters. These very oldfashioned (to many: ugly) looking speakers have been quite a while, undergoing various modifications. According to some audiophiles they sound impressive. How will they sound compared to my current speakers, the Dunlavy SC-Vs? Do the Tannoys beat them in terms of sonics and sheer musicality? Do you have to drive them with single ended amplification or can they also sound good with solid state? Thx in advance.

IMHO you will gain in dynamics and SPL loudness and slightly more flexibility in placement if that is what you desire then go for it. Dunlavy's are wonderful but they don't play extremely loud and they tend to have a narrow sweetspot and tend to present a more woody tonality. Tannoys will be a little harsher or edgy or lively in comparison. Both are classic absolutely awesome speakers - so please don't take this as any criticism of either- just relative stuff.
