A Tannoy forum gets my vote. I have never owned Tannoy but find myself continuously intrigued by their speakers, especially the Tannoy Westminster Royal SE.

My first apartment wasn't as big as those Westminsters.

Yep, if I won the lottery, the Westminsters would be my first purchase. 2nd would be a house, with a proper room for the Westies being the primary deciding factor. 3rd, a snazzy car to transport me around town for the primary purpose of sourcing the best wood wax for my Westies. 4th, maybe a custom T-shirt to let others know of my favorite speaker. Unfortunately I don't play the lottery, so...maybe I can make the T-shirt happen...

I think the Kingdom Royals are great, and technically reside atop top of the line, but I always gotta go with the largest Alnico/DC Tannoy I can afford. 99dB/Watt and extension down to 18Hz from a single (DC) driver...let that sink in for a bit. What else comes even close?

It's not on my roadmap, but I'd love to hear what those can do with some great tube gear like shindo.

Ivan, Tannoy & Accuphase is a very popular pairing in Japan......just hinting like

Fabulous speakers that have stood the test of time, although I don't own a pair, I'd love to see them get the recognition here on AA

Tannoy forum is up.

No threads there yet - a rare opportunity to be the very first one to post.
