+++ Tannoy-style ("Laid Back"): dampen the distortion relative to the music; these listeners can tolerate less distortion, but also need less of the musical signal to be satisfied.
I wish I would agree was that what I'm hearing from Dunnoy I might fully qualified as laid-back sound. I understand that you're not characterizing the sound but rather a concept and I not necessary disagree but I I wish I would have subjective references to suggest it is the case. Unfortunately I cannot as I do not particularly feel that sound of Dannoy is laid back. I also do not know anything about distortions as I am not sure what it is. From audio prospective I would not characterize it as laid back. I am thinking for many weeks how to identify this sound and I was not able to come up with anything better than presented versus implied. Macondo in the way express everything as is, living very little for audio imagination. I am not talking musical imagination but purely auditable imagination, all i are dotted an all t are crossed.Dannoy does all the same but it does it in some kind of friendly and very kind way, living a lot of room for extrapolations and pure audio fantasy. It does has minor tendency to over glorifying things, like GRF does, it has this peculiar vintage tannoy attractiveness but for some reason in passive loaded application and particular complemented this very dry mid bass it is very different sound. Insultingly attractive and I completely gave up to that experience. When I discovered this song I spent days and days and nice not stopping listening and it was quite amazing. My local audio friends, Don, after he's stopped at my place and listen Macondo, dunleavy 2021 after the very first bars of listening Dunnoy, even without meat bass drivers, informed is that if he had the sound he would not leave his house which was exactly how I felt, and done visit my listening rooms for the last 20 years quite regularly. While my speakers are being built in China my another local other friend Bill has actually my drivers, my Dunoys and he is experimenting to combine Dannoys with his 40hz straight horns. He reports very Superior results to his previous Twitter plus mid-range horn combination. I am bringing all this data not because I tried to convince anybody in anything but just to inform that what we are dealing in Dunnoy is not some kind of step back, simplification or laid back movement but it is very very serious result. Please take seriously my statement the result is very Noble and please take seriously my statement that I have no idea why.
