…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.

Wow, Rony this is exactly how a great audio literature should be written!!! I had absolutely the same feeling and I was under impression that my little 10” Reds sink Melquiades. You have 15¨Golds and drive them with 200W SS. It is a perfect match for them but still you report the same effect. Would it be something inherent in the Tannoys drivers? I have a long and completely flimsy theory about it. I feel that ANY single point source driver chokes with “big sound”. However, when you have multiple of drivers then they form a frequency-dependant line-arrays and it virtually extends the size of the transducers, plus it has many other benefit of the cylindrical waves.

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.

I will not be searching any further solutions for solution for Reds. They will be in this “idiosyncratically resonating” Tannoy’s original feeble cabinet and I am not touching it. The only thing that I might play will be amplification… all the rest I will keep it as is. I found some very new and very interesting ways to USE those Tannoys but it is too new way of thinking for we I need some time to figure out what it doing on. I am sure I will be reporting the outcome. No mater what the Reds are wonderful for certain things. For instance is I want to listen some News via a republican radios stations then by playing the news it via the Tannoys the voices of the broadcasters do not sound as revolting as they usually are. For instance last night I was listening some Fox New and they proudly announced that some kind of next retard in Senate of in House poser in odder to fight with homosexual marriages to oblige all married couple to have children. … and you know what? When you hear the news like this via Tannoys then those news do not sound as idiocy but rather as a “gentle encouragement”…
