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.
It was a pleasure to be pulled in. AA is the place I go online when I want to relax and be among friends - I just wish I had more time to visit these days. Your choice of the Tannoys made me want to jump in because if there is a brand of speakers that would make me consider replacing my Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage is a pair of Tannoys. I'd consider moving to Scotland and buying a small castle just so I could have a place fitting for a pair of Westminster Royals.
