the 16 Ohm Silvers and Reds that were made before these work far better with tubes IME
The 12" Golds typically came in crummy rectangular cabinets, (Yorks or Lancasters), veneer over chipboard with a handful of fibreglass mat thrown in and these don't help the sound
Either bracing the cabinets or building a solid DIY a cabinet will work wonders
The Golds crossover components are even crummier, and will benefit from some upgraded parts
There is a Tannoy forum at Yahoo with over 1,000 members and the regular upgrades for the Golds are archivedGrins
