Congratulations! I hope they will please you for a long time. The latest from Tannoy is that they will continue to make the Prestige models in the UK (Manchester)?. They have been making the lesser models in China for some years now...
I personally think that the MUSIC Group should change their name to the MONEY Group and be honest, but we'll see what happens.

Behringer are moving the R&D part of Tannoy to Manchester. They say that manufacture of the Prestige models will remain in Scotland and that this will involve a new, updated, plant. However although closure of the existing Coatbridge factory has been confirmed there is so far nothing about any new factory beyond the aspiration.
That is good news. I was just doing some work with Mavis Staples' "Have a Little Faith" playing in the next room and I had to go in and listen. Never heard it so good. For the time being, am using about -4 dB at 62Hz on the Vox player. The acoustic guitar and B3 give goosebumps.
Nothing is ever simple. That's generally good.

Great! you got a pair. Odd the description of the Box works being V good.
In the past.. Tannoys were the other way around.
Exquisitely made drivers in poorly made boxes.
GRF stated that they Were Speaker makers.. Not furniture builders.
The earlier DC's are even better sounding.. true.
However you now have your own pair.
No doubt they will please for many years to come.
Have had Mine since '72 and have yet to hear something that would make me want to upgrade /replace them.
Typical of DC's is their surprising ability to give audible result to even the tiniest of quality upgrades in their downstream gear.
