Best vintage Tannoy for rock?

I know that Tannoy speakers are not usually associated with rock but I'm mesmerized by the sound of old Tannoy 15 monitors (Super Red, Gold, Classic etc) in big cabinets. The sound is huge and beautiful - you just don't get anything like that from the modern Tannoys. So what's the best vintage Tannoy speaker to rock out with deep bass and tons of punch? I'll be using Manley 250 monos.

Also, Hiram Bullock does a VERY impressive hot solo on one song,
he was in his prime. RIP

Carla is great! Check out "Looking For America" "The Lost Chords". "Appearing Nightly" and "The Lost Chords Find Paolo Fresu". One of the band members is an Audiophile.

Now this is what audio is for! Music! Leave it to a Tannoy guy to start that enthusiasm. That's what they (and some other, but few) are about: music.

I ordered "Sextet" yesterday. I was a bit disappointed it wasn't available on vinyl, but it will sound great anyway.

Thanks guys!
