Tannoy Turnberry SE - with McIntosh
Has anyone paired Tannoy Turnberry's with McIntosh SS Amps?
I'm toying with replacing my ProAcs with a pair of Turnberry speakers. Any feedback would be welcome. |

Thanks Jerome...I've read elsewhere that tubes are welll suited for Tannoys's. but my intent would be to keep my C2200 and the 501's...
I'm quite confideent it would be a very good match.. just curious to see what others might say who have done so. |

Jerome,
I don't think I am missing 'anything' per se. I love my ProAcs... However, I'm looking for a speaker that will blend in and fit my room decor a bit better, without sacrificing sound quality and is within my budget. I'm very familiar with Tannoy as I owned a pair of Cheviots for +15 years. A local dealer is willing to do an equal exchange on a new pair of Turnberry's so I am quite tempted. I've listened and am quite pleased with what I have heard, but they were being driven by the new Devialet integrated amp and the speakers have only had a few hours of use, so they are not broken in yet. I found the Turnberry's to be quite laid back and quite relaxing which does suit me quite a bit. So before I part with my ProAcs, I just thought I would ask the more experienced audience what they think. Last edited by Haurock; 11-07-2012 at 09:42 PM. |

Very interested in how this turns out. I'm a huge Tannoy fan. I have Kensingtons on the way as we speak. I currently have Pass Labs XA's....but MC601's may have a future here.

and you are very are very correct Jerome.. the ProAcs are lovely speakers.. don't get me wrong... and I haven't done the deed yet... I'm still pondering my options... but from an aesthetics perspective...my eyes tell me the Tannoys will offer a better visual ambiance... When Serge was selling his Canteburry's I was mightily tempted but, wrong time... Now is a better time.... but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing.. that's why I'm soliciting..opinions... |

Really??.. ohhh.. now I am tempted to wait and see how that works out for you.. my first inclinations was towards the Kensington's.... I just have to save a bit more.. maybe I should discuss my plans with AudioClassics.. they are currently selling the Prestige line... |
