RE: High efficiency speaker with great reproduction of speech

>>> I know who have experience with both Altec co-axials and Tannoy DCs do give Tannoy the edge overall. <<<

Performance of the Altecs - and their more modern/ resolved GPA descendants - is rather (very!) crossover and cabinet dependant. The commonly used classical alignments and crossovers are easily bettered.

Personally, there are few Tannoy DC I would consider using over a well-implemented GPA-604, and those are very, very expensive.

As an aside, speaker alignments are not my bag, but it seems that low Q drivers are less forgiving of imperfect alignments than mid - high Q drivers (but I could be way off on that point). The GPA-604 is a low Q speaker; Tannoys are generally mid Q speakers.

Cheers.
