Tannoy Westminster Royal

Hello All,

I had occasion to listen to, and test the Tannoy Westminster Royal.
I found it had a warm sound in the bass-not boomy, and crisp clean bass transients. When the bass is this clear, you think there is no bass sometimes. The Tannoy goes flat to 50Hz.
Here are some of the tests I made in the gentleman's living room.
The ripples are less in the bass at the mouth of the horn. I will post them if you like.
if anyone has curves of a new 604 type driver, i would very much like to see them. I have seen the ones in the Altec 1971 monitor catalog on Lansing heritage. I scaled my curves a bit more coarse than the Altec page
I found the voice perfectly integrated, a trace of edginess- but not annoying. It is quite a nice speaker.
This fellow had the ultrasonic tweeters, which are past the limits of the mic used in this test.
I have 604's the last alnico units made with NOS cones, and I like the Tannoys better. You got to have the big basshorn though.
The Tannoy also has a time delay passive network..rare these days

The HF horn in 604's ( Mantaray included) is an unsolved solution. The Tannoys did a better job.

Best ......Bill ( that should be degrees, sigh)
