In Reply to: Am I the only one who thinks vintage Tannoys are bright and fatiguing?? posted by Mr Blue Sky on May 12, 2005 at 15:14:36:
Hi Mr. Blue Sky,I have owned Tannoy Buckinghams for several years and found that they were slightly bright too, although I must say that I liked these speakers.
The brightness may have to do with the HF horn, but it may also have to do with the general "British" preference (at least relative to US speakers/monitors) for a somewhat "shy" bass re-production.
Although my Tannoy B's had dual 12" woofers in a 200 liter cabinet, they were still somewhat restricted in the bass relative to, for instance, JBL 250 Ti, that I had before.
All the best
Peter
