If U asked me if I am a "bass freak", the answer is NO! However, nice bass reproduction is something I would cherish. The likes of Wilson WP7, PMC EB1i, Tannoy Westminsters, ....

Hope I answered your question.

Cheers!

In this case, are you saying that the Canterbury SE is still more musical than the Yorkminster although spec wise, the later goes lower by about 6Hz?

Would like to hear your advise ... cause I have heard the Canterbury, with and without the 200 Tweeter. With the 200 Tweeter, the speaker gave a sense of airiness.

I have never heard the Yorkminster before, so can only gage by specs, which I could be entirely wrong.

What i like about the Canterbury is the variable bass tuning management system on the front of the speaker .. gives you the ability to stop vibrations/ res.
not , on or off , but a 4 " slot you can close completely in a small room etc .. or vary it tuning to you room
I use the 200 Tweeter as well agree .. gives airiness
thought you thinking about the westministers ? lucky dog !!

I am .. but realized I did not have the space to accommodate 38 inches width without causing some tight space between door and entrance to lounge. More so, with built-in cabinet, its no longer movable space. Best bet is about 26 inch width at most!

Thats why I am looking around and so far, the Wilsons (and my current Acapella) fit the space, never more than 14 inches wide.

Thanks for the feedback though as the advise will come in handy later on.

Cheers!
