Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Tannoy Stirling GR initial impressions - all wrong?

Just listened to the Von Karajan/Berlin Tchaikovsky 4th. Not in your face at all; more like row ten. Nice sound stage between the speakers, with good depth. Really beguiling image specificity. I haven't heard violin plucking sound like this since the Maggie 1's. Excellent sense of hall acoustics. Massed violins nice until the volume rises, when the laptop DAC turns them all gritty. Ouch! Solo flute and oboe hang with a wonderful sense of air. Moral: don't use these speakers with crummy stuff in the chain. This is getting better.
