Tannoy Canterbury GR
After months of researching, looking and listening to an impressive range of speakers, one grabbed me like no other. All were amazing in their own way and beautifully built but the Tannoy Canterbury GR was magical, seductive and real-life to the point that I couldn't stop listening. During the last audition of tapping my foot so much that my ankle was tired, I knew the Canterbury GR was the one for my den. The delivery truck arrived yesterday.
More soon.

Sweet! I remember how excited I was to receive my (then) brand new Canterbury SE back in 2012. Still proudly rockin' em today. Though I probably should've waited for the GR series, lol!
Have to admit I was a bit shocked how much I had to re-voice my system coming from the Kensington SE (from a tipped-up to a tipped-down FR). Hopefully your transition is a smooth one. Fantastic speaker for a music-lover audiophile. Last edited by mulveling; 06-02-2017 at 07:55 PM.

Thank you, gentlemen. I turned the system on early this morning to begin accumulating hours and they have been getting better with each hour. I will post my initial impressions and some more photos soon.

Bob.......Funny. That delivery guy does sort of look like me, although a bit younger.
