And I turned 35 recently (male), so I guess I have maybe 1 or 2 years left of passable high-frequency hearing before this ST stuff becomes a non-issue :P[/QUOTE]
Do try the ST100's with the treble shelved down to -1.5 on the Canterbury's- I find this combination makes my system sing. Yes, the Canterburys are darker than the Kensington's, and I think the Canterburys sound better listening near field.
Are your Super tweeters the B version?- yes there are 2 versions of the ST100- each having difference crossover steps & sensitivity settings!!! There is nothing noting the 2 types on the Tannoy Website- I got the information off a Japanese website & had a Japanese's speaking staff member translate.
The ST100 is a universal super tweeter with frequency 18, 20, or 22kHz adjustable & Level: 87dB, 89dB, 91dB, 93.5dB, 95dB
The ST100B has frequency 14,16 & 18kHz & Level :87dB, 89dB, 91dB, 93dB, 95dB
You need the ST100B for use with the Canterbury (Manual recommends 14kHz & 95dB which sounds best in my system).
Im 50, and had my hearing tested a few yrs ago- the Audiologist said I had the hearing of a 15 year old- he had never seen someone of my age have that level of hearing- pity my eye sight isn't as good- even after Lasik surgery, by close-up vision is rubbish!
