agreed, they always sound smooth, although they need to be partnered well,
A mate of mine ran my 611,s on his valve amp setup,,, the bass was totaly overblown, mind you they were only a week old,,,, prolly sound superb now

I have some Tannoys, not allowed them in the house so they live in the garage hooked up to an MP3 player for MP3 streaming duties, they are also the hexagonal jobs, Couldnt bear to part with them now, have had them years and before that some litle ones.

Personally, I much prefer my Ruarks, but then again they cost more, are well amped and anyway hi-fi is always a matter of personal choice.

Thats right, if i recall they were reviewed as "on the warm side of neutral"
I used some Thomas Dolby to demo them with, the track one of our submarines, the treble in that was/ is electric, with a real piercing shriek, not easy to do without distortion, it was what convinced me, to buy the 611,s as opposed to the 609,s mine you i wouldnt mind a set of 609,s as my rear surrounds ...
hmmm now can i convince the other half i need them...

Got a pair of System 100s, and used to monitor playback through some Buckinghams.
Gotta say, whilst I get the whole DC/Point source theory side, I've never been a MAJOR fan of Tannoys Can't put my finger on what it is though.
I prefer the ATC scm's - much nicer
