In Reply to: All other things being equal, GPA 604 vs. Tannoy Gold 15" posted by gortnipper on July 10, 2008 at 18:16:00:
tho' there's not much in itIf anything, the Tannoys are more "beamy" than the Altecs, and while not the last word in either top or bottom end extension, the Tannoys make for hours of effortless listening and are subtle, efficient + tonally accurate
The Altecs have more of their own sonic signature, and have more forward a presentationI could live with either speaker happily; this is really like comparing a Jaguar with a Cadillac; both quite different, + both Superb!
