The mini skirt analogy is a great fit. That is my experience.Or maybe like that stunning girl has small breasts and one has know the joy of a good handful. There are ways for enhancement and while one could get more, the girl is no more beautiful and...

The passive radiator is simply put a closed box Helmholtz resonator with low "q". What does that mean? It means that the passive radiator only resonates at its tuned frequency and its multiples - regardless of the frequency radiated by the driven woo...

This is one of my favorite posts on your site.My daily playback system uses Tannoy 15" Gold drivers in large back-loaded Autograph cabinets. It isn't used for critical listening, rather it's mostly on in the background playing my local NPR radio sta...

marknoir, I have a lot of feedback in direct emails regarding to my “hate of Koetsu”. What I conceded that there is a different between Andrian’s version of “lash but slight noney-dripped” sound and my version of “dull sound”. They have the same name...

I have the original Dannoy's. While i still have not gotten the sdound that Romy did in his room, it is still very good. Using biamped Yamaha B2 amplifiers driven by a Trinnov 16 pre-pro, recently updated by sdoftware to 20 channels. The speakers are...

Yes of course, rule going to be very much in play and certainly it will be impacted by specific response right and left channels to a given location. Even though the location is hugely variable and the speakers might be moved with the freedom of 6-7 ...

I think I wrote In the past here, if you like the 10” Tannoy, why not try the 12” or 15”? The ones with rubber surround are not so good in my view (from CPA or DMT series as they have very restricted midrange) but the cloth surround Tannoys are wort...

I took this quote from Bill’s post in the Bermuda Triangles
of Audio thread, and I did not want to pollute that thread. Still, I feel that
subject is very worthy to address.

N-Set, I invite you to make your own recording of the phase of your Dunnoy. I used my phone camera to do it and a free online sweep generator. I had Tannoy, Scanspeak and laptop screen all in shot when I filmed and shot...

Ok, I partially got my sound. The top section of Remedies is
serially wasted and need to be redon. Still, was looking in my attic and I
found something that is make it so much better, at least in phycological domain.
I found a pair of Reds from 60...

This weekend I discover interesting phenomena on which I did not pay attention before. The Montrealian Charles Dutoit conducted this weekend Boston symphony. I was listening the broadcast, recording it as usually. It was ...

During the 2002 CES, late at night, a friend of mine demonstrate me something that was tying to address for a few years. It was a very different “tone” form a loudspeaker or I would rather say a different relationship between reproduced and auditable...

These are not speakers but ear scratchers ,they may however fit Samuel's expectations. Actually from description of required performance almost every Hi-End speaker should fit the bill so I don't understand where is the problem ? If the speaker will ...

you already have one, which is Tannoy Red in enclosure ? You just need to figure out the way to use it independently via some remotespeaker switch to switch amps (if needed )and that's all . Isn't it good enough or what?Regards, W...

Hi,Mr. Hiraga said (and it's also in the promo-flyer) that he uses modified GreatPlainsAudio coaxial, although the one in the speakers that were playing music looked more like original Altec 604 (because of the multicell horn). So, I guess it's not M...

Just a brief note on my recent addition: Placette Active preamp. Due to a recent purchase of Tannoy Golds, I had the opportunity to pull an old McIntosh SS amp out of the closet recently. This amp has gain controls, so I tried running it ...

I live in the Boston area and would like the opportunity to listen to a pair of vintage Tannoy Red or Gold speakers. An audio associate highly recommends them for remarkable tonality and musicality. If you are in or near Boston within a 60 mile rad...

It is comforting to know that the Vitavox is in the running with the Tannoy. I am very interested in the results - also with the crossover intentions....
|
|
The crossover will be determined by the room and NOT the Tannoy. I remember a post where an 80 Hz room issue was covered by the crossover - I think from the woofer tower to the midbass back then. Then another post came where the woofer towers were di...

Not too many of the cheaper horns have really interested me so far, but I think that we here should help others with this as it could better help them have some horns and horn interest in general. I haven't payed too much attention to much ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]There is a strange looks like another tweeter at the bottom of the bass horn. [/quote]I can't really make it out on the photo, but it looks a bit like a Tannoy Supertweeter....

IF the Remedios cabinets have more volume than the Dunnoy, you just put bricks inside Remedios until you have the same volume. I assume that EVERY Tannoy Red will have a different resonance frequency. They are old and have certainly not been played t...

The toilet paper is Romy's way of moderating the tweeter by a dB or two.Cannot load the photo. The box is about 3x11/2x1 foot with the Tannoy driver above the one Vitavox....

My room, is 16 to 17 feet wide, 27 to 28 feet long by 12 to 14 feet high with all walls splayed, with a combination of absorption and diffusion on the walls. All electronics are fed electricity by three pure power units originally recommended by Rom...

I am not sure what to make of the decision. I understand the quandry surrounding "high maintenance" dates but am not sure about the replacement. I guess we will see after the honeymoon. I am surprised that you have not tried - or written about the IB...

Very interesting...So if I understand correctly, the "Injection Channel" consists of a pair of Tannoy Reds, used as direct radiators, in sealed enclosures, which are intentionally "live", meaning, optimized to resonate according to your des...

Romy, could it be that the sheer beauty of the Tannoy wooferwill be compromised by the insertion of any high pass filtersbetween amp and driver?...

I really notice the absence of any discussion of the melody range. Tannoy tweeter and red midbass seem to be getting all of the attention. I wonder if the reds problem with loud, may be located in the melody range. The problem is something I would pr...
