In Reply to: Re: Am I the only one who thinks vintage Tannoys are bright and fatiguing?? posted by Thorsten on May 13, 2005 at 10:40:49:
I have two pairs. Both irritate me in the same way. I've also tried Gold 10"s, HPD 12"s, and Gold 12"s with paper surrounds. I have one pair in the stock smaller cabinets and the other in a pair of Electrovoice Aristocrat folded horn cabinets. I've also tried both pairs in much larger cabinets. I am certain the drivers and crossovers are operating correctly and I've experimented with the roll off and energy controls. I find the most tolerable compromise is to run the treble flat and the energy back one notch. Anymore than that and the speaker starts to loose it's punch.

Hi,> I have two pairs. Both irritate me in the same way.
> I've also tried Gold 10"s, HPD 12"s, and Gold 12"sI guess you gave them more than a fair chance and tannoy's just don't work for you. Try some ATC or Dynaudio's then and stay away from ANY Lowthers and the like by at least a mile or two, just in case....
I personally find Tannoys in the long run just slightly opaque and lacking the coherence of good single driver systems, but I have not yet heard any (even the rather lesser later ones0 that I found fatiguing.
Different strokes for different blokes....
