The Tannoy is interesting...

I have listened to the Kensington in Korea and it is far better than the Tannoys I remember in the early 1990s...though those were budget lines.

There is certainly something to the wide baffles. All the good speakers here are big fat chubby speakers and when you listen to the slim ones it just sounds bad IMO. Oddly I was expecting to see Audio Note speakers in Yongsan as well. I only saw AN Phono stages. Granted none of the stores have ideal listening rooms.

I saw one of the Lowther drivers rated from 30hz -18khz and thought -- gee in an Audio Note like cabinet this could be really cool.

I'd still take the AN's over the Kensington but at least it sounded all day listenable and that to me is hard enough to find in most of the Canadian shops I've been too. Although I have to say that the AN's actually look very good compared to the Tannoys...They are BUTT ugly -- retro is one thing but this line of speakers is just so old looking --- when I first saw them I thought they would be pretty good -- they'd have to be!
