Tannoy Sandringham SE visiting my place.
I've been wanting to audition Tannoy speakers for a while now, especially now that I am running the 2301 tubed monoblocks.
My dealer dropped off a pair of Sandringham SE today. Stay tuned for pics and impressions. |

I love them Serge. I have a pair of Tannoy Autograph Mini that I drive with a vintage C34V+MC250. They are my background music system in the living room, but I love the way they sound. The big Tannoys always fascinated me.

Yes, like I already mentioned, this speaker is really special in my system and makes me want to listen all day and night long. I can't imagine ever getting tired of it since it doesn't do one thing wrong. It even manages some of the hi-fi tricks in terms of a very spacious soundstage and three dimensional presentation very well. Now that the whole system is tubed, tube CDP, tube pre and tube amps, the sound is lush, musical, coherent, natural and very enjoyable. Spinning vinyl, even on the Technics table presents the soundstage in a very analog/three dimensional way with very organic and round bass, even if it doesn't exactly plumb the depths that Sophia 3 can. |

Tannoy DC's can be quite magical. I have 4 pairs ranging from the HPD, Saturn, and Revolution series.

Howie, those two would probably feel a bit cramped in this room. I do have another room in mind for Westminsters if I ever decide to go that way.

Talk about a different sound than the Sophia's. Very interesting to see what you think after a few days.
