After a huge struggle, I found a retailer in the Northamptonshire area who contacted Tannoy and obtained a pair of speakers to demonstrate. These speakers were top of the list because they have a light oak option and came out well in reviews. My apology to the dealer. He offered me these speakers for about �1350. I bought them on the web for �699. Which would you choose? This is suicidal marketing by Tannoy as who is going to demonstrate these speakers in the future. Am I reviewing �700 speakers or �1350 speakers? I have a Cyrus Cd8 SE source and Cyrus 8VS amp. The What Hifi review is correct. It takes a long time to run these speakers in. I like them. The bass is very extended yet controlled and reveals a great deal more at the low end than my previous Ruark prelude R speakers. Vocals are simply awesome. Perhaps the upper bass and lower mid range is a little subdued but this is a very minor criticism. These speakers are a pleasure to listen with fine detail, suitable for all types of music and good for parties too. Are these �700 speakers or �1350 speakers? At �700 they blow away all competition I have ever heard. At �1350 they will still hold their own against the competion but at this level there are some very good alternatives. I will give them 5 stars and more if I could at the lower price. At the higher price you need to listen to the competition. I would still choose them but it is a matter of personal listening preference. They are still good value for money. They are very well made, are good to look at and do not spoil the living room. A feature which pleases the wife
