Kiddman, Tonyjack,
Unfortunately, I was never able to meet Dr. Loesch, but was lucky enough to become friends with a man that had grown up with him, and were lifetime friends.
On my behalf, he asked Dr. Arthur for a crossover design for my project Tannoys, which he did, while at a bakyard barbeque at my friends home in Chicago.
I must admit, I have never heard any newer versions of Tannoys, I don't do much traveling, and the nearest dealer is 100 miles away.
In order to have the system that I have, I had to DIY as much as possible, but I am very happy with the results.
I have heard nothing but high praise for the new Tannoys (now that I think about it, I did hear some new Turnberrys at a friends home in Portland). When Kevin Hayes was upgrading my VAC PA 35.35, he mentioned that he uses Tannoys with his products, and that the Kingdom Royals are a must-hear.
Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to hear more Tannoys in the new Prestige line. If my pockets were a bit deeper, some nice Canterbury SE's would probably grace my listening room.
It would be nice if you two fellows were to list your systms here, I would enjoy reading about them.
I am glad to see we are more in agreement than not.
Yours in the love of music and Tannoy, regards,
Dan
