I've owned (and still own) many Tannoy Dual Concentrics and SuperDuals.
Closest I've owned to the SGM1000 is the SGM-15B, which uses the 3839 driver in a smaller (122 litre) cabinet. That may, or may not, be the same 15" DC used in the SGM1000.
Lovely speakers! Even better when I invested in the "hard-edge" recone kit—but that's another story.
I'd say that anyone considering investing up to $10K in a pair of speakers who has the opportunity to audition the SMG1000 (or the SGM-15B) should indeed do so before committing funds elsewhere.
(The attached photo is not of the SGM1000 or the SMG-15B; it's one of my large Tannoy systems: the VS218-DR subwoofers and the V15 DC driver (with custom cabinet and passive crossovers).
