I have had the Cheviots at home for an audition and find the midrange to be a bit dry and extremely detailed. This makes lots of recordings sound less than stellar. May have something to do with the monitor heritage. Would love to hear your opinion on this. |

Dry midrange is definitely not a characteristic that I would associate with Tannoy heritage. Tannoy is the most sensitive speaker to upstream components of any speaker I've owned. A single cable change can make a major difference in the sound. I'd start there before making any final decisions.

Good to hear. They just get better and better with age.

I'm having some issues with vocal sibilance on my Cheviots. They seem to be pretty critical with regard to recording quality. Have you noticed this with the Ardens?
