What happen with tannoy speakers in USA ?


Hi friends,
I post this question because I want to know what happen with Tannoy speakers in USA, specially the Prestige series ?
Tannoy Prestige series are very popular in Europa and Japan but I couldĀ“t find or read about them in USA. Very little number of dealers, reviews and Audiogon virtual systems.
I will apreciate your opinions because for me Tannoy Prestige series are the most natural speakers.
Thanks.

I heard Tannoy $12,000 Yorkminster this weekend. This is the real deal. One of the best speakers I have ever heard. Not lush like Cremona. Not hyped up like B&W. Not colored and lacking transparency like Wilson. This is a speaker with a timeless sound quality that I think you could be happy with for a long time despite improvements in technology because it gets things so right to begin with.
They have the best dynamic shading and textures of sounds I have ever heard. 94dB efficient and phase / time coherent point source sound. Only problems were soundstaging from a 12" driver can't match a 3" single driver and you may not like the "British sound".
