This seems like I promo vs honest review of speaker. You compare to tannoy price n look, but you also give specific pairing equipment for best sound. That cuts off most people that don't want to or can't afford to replace equipment. You also have a restricted room placement/size, which is okay. But, if u are gonna review a budget version of tannoy, then give tannoy or any other speaker of same track record/history a fair review across the board. Is there any value in versatility in equipment? What if someone moves into bigger/smaller space? What if someone can only upgrade one component a year, 2 or 3 years a a time. How do these budget equipment help audiophiles in their long term journey?

[@mag290]

maybe throw some Miflex 0.1uf bypass caps on the tweeter circuit. check the rest of the crossover, possibly room for upgrade parts, cheap fix

[@cameronkrause4712]

I'm glad u like those speakers, I think they are beautiful. Upgrade the crossovers- leave the values the same but just put in better capacitors and inductors- these speakers will then blow your mind! btw, it's easy to switch out the parts if u can solder.

[@Inconceivable-Montoya]

tell me more please. I can solder, what components do you recommend - thanks

[@Inconceivable-Montoya]

Got these speakers. Jay your review is spot on. Big cabinets very well made walnut veneer. Sound is as close to Frank Fazzelli Coherent as can be. I heard Coherent at the TAS show Toronto 2016. These have the same characteristics. I love them. Keepers for sure. As Jay said - these are not for super detailed analytical listening. They sing they flow and boy can they thump, my room is 20x30 feet and they fill the whole room. Highly recommended if Co Axial is your thang

[@sean_heisler]

Ok, this video was just goddamn funny from beginning to end!

[@yannick930]

[@chuckmaddison2924]

This is a lovely story. On the subject of China. I have bought blank circuit boards from China and have found the quality exceptionally high.

[@richardlaub889]

They look like Tannoy"s but probably sound more like Altec Santana's. Santana's had that big 15 inch 420A bi-flex driver that did both bass and midrange. It had a small 1 inch tweeter. They were big and heavy and the sound filled the biggest rooms. They sounded like the vintage big Klipsch without the stinging highs. I had a pair and loved them.

[@jctai100]

@@crashkdw just like leather jackets eh?

[@vikassm]

@@crashkdw Break in isn't a myth. Read any audio engineering book to understand what "break-in" is and why it matters. (Floyd Toole, Vance Dickason) Overly simplified, the cone, surround and spider are somewhat stiffer out-of-the box. They reach designed compliance values only after running for a while. One part of this is just a side effect of using glue. The bigger part is simply inherent to the materials used. Paper, cloth, rubber, all of these materials become less stiff (or more compliant) with use. Imagine a brand new shirt. It's simply not as crisp after you've worn it a few times. Similar effect.

[@Xiaoguan8845]

Beautiful look speakers. With a good synergy and proper run in time I believe it will sing

[@blacknight4912]

Excellent review! Beautiful speakers.

[@gnoter2]

Thanks for taking the bold step of acquiring the speakers! Outlining the trials & tribulations, unboxing, etc.was not lost on me! Much appreciated!! BUT!??? This speaker deserves more than a 'summary'. In my view, I wouldn't characterize it as review. I feel that Tujan (?) would've possibly done it justice. He seems more musically passionate & perhaps more credible in set up & pairing with gear. A tube based set up, with a "decent" vinyl front end with good CD player. Maybe, lastly follow up with streaming digital set up, to give it a modern relevancy? Or a seasoned 'old school' audiophile to review it!! Concluding with sound demos!! That would make it relevant to the few music/Phile's that would enjoy a "budget" perspective of Tannoy/Valve, analog system approach. Notwithstanding the "Andy Warhol" aging 'phile scenario, I applaud the effort! If I had the $$$$ to acquire/ship the speakers to Temple Hills, Md USA??? I'd make a go of doing a proper review. Peace!

Wow you ordered two canoes! They’re massive! Thought my Paradigm studio 100s were big.

It would be great to have a sound demo. Something somewhat controlled. Same transport,dac and amp with the same mic. Endorsement of a product online is hard enough.

[@lydiapawlak8564]

It's true. most peoples living rooms, listening rooms, are not large enough for most speakers of large sizes. If put in larger spaces and away from walls by 3- 4 feet, and spread about 12 feet apart toed in about 15 degrees is magical.... They will disappear.

[@jowblow2171]

i like the look of those speakers.

[@markhampton7559]

Two things: #1. I would assume drivers like those would require a long break in period to show their true potential; #2. If I might suggest, try running 2 sets of speaker cables between the amp and speaker (I think the required dampening factor for such big drivers would response well to that). Thanks...

[@MrAnddre]

Hi Jay, at this price point wouldn't it make more sense from the "regular customer" point of view to test the "internal products" rather than the "abroad ones" were you could order, test in your house with your gear and use the return policy, specially during pandemic times, in case it is not according to your taste? Talking about this, have you tested the "compression drivers" one from Tekton? Best Regards,

[@The-Spotlight-Kid]

Dammit, i didn't know these existed & i'm suffering from 3'ish months of a knackered cone- caused vintage Tannoy 15" D.C. withdrawal symptoms. Few hours ago on 1 of your vids i saw a smaller goldy coloured tweeter-horned dual concentric speaker of $875 from Amazon & seiously thought "this is my best affordable option if Amazon do the same deal for us brits" ...i go out & come back, turn the comp' back on & now you lay this one on me - i.e. in my order of seeing your vids, dammit, could have got the others easily but this one ...dammit! But very glad i saw it before buying anything

Building good hi fi products is a collaboration of of electrical engineers and musicians, is definitely an intellectual quest of the magical properties of electricity, several tested materials in terms of vibration properties and of course, the latest electronics.

[@justadad2304]

For the record, Jay stands a clear 2 or 3 notches above Andrew Robinson, in the overall balance of what it means to be a hifi reviewer. After having wasted my time with several of A-Rob's reviews, I finally realized he is not a source of information on the products I'm really interested in, nor does he have a worthwhile perspective aligned with how I analyze things. He has good video production quality, but in every other way Jay/Thujan/Next Best Thing Studio are far superior.

[@elvincuevas1727]

Andrew Robinson is just a salesman. He reviews things in a way that could make a product appealing to a wide portion of the population/audience. Sometimes he reviews things that he might be interested to get at a discounted price and so on... His videos look polished and beautiful and in my opinion his channel could be good as entertainment for lazy people that has nothing better to do. But if you are interested in learning about the product and the technology in them Andrew's channel is not the one to look for... Having said that he measures some of the TVs in his reviews and that is about the best I can get from his channel. I like measurements as a refence point. He does not measure anything else, only TV or maybe projectors but nothing in the audio stuff...

[@MichelLinschoten]
