In the Thread: Tannoy Red 1960s: some sober reality
Post Subject: My 15¨Golds are probably on the way outPosted by RonyWeissman on: 2/15/2007
I am using them with 200 w/channel SS amp in very large sealed cabinets.  The room they are in is quite large and the honey bass has been less of a problem than the MF tone.  When I play my bartoli baroque CD (live in italy),  dynamics are quite good, but instruments, especially her voice, seem to be trapped at same time. There is very little freedom in her singing, which through the S2s is quite playful, almost "swingy".  I've heard her sing live a couple of times. 

I did put the Tannoy's into a smaller room at first, it was very exciting to listen to the start of the Bruckner 7th, terrifying actually, but the crescendos started to sound like New Age music gone mad.  In fact if I take a look right now at the CDs piled up around the tannoy installation it turns out they are nearly ALL solo piano recitals, cupla of jazz pieces, and a few sonates for cello and piano.  There you have it.

I figured I just don't have the right cabinet for the tannoy's, so I'll be watching to see if you find the solution for your REDs or if you give up. 

thanks,

R Weissman
