I'm listening to my Canterbury's in not the largest of rooms. They are placed on the long wall, fairly close to the wall. My listening position is about 7.5 feet away and they sound awesome! I can only imagine what they would sound like in a larger room, alas, not available in my San Francisco Edwardian. It just seems to me that they aren't as sensitive to speaker placement as some other speakers I've had (e.g. Merlins. Don't misunderstand me, when optimized, I'm sure they are incredible and would image deeper and wider, but in general I don't think they are a particularly "fussy" a speaker. Bright would be about the last way I would describe them.
Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?
I'd like to know if any of the Tannoy gurus in Audiogonland could recommend one of the larger 12" or 15" vintage (or modern) models for midfield listening. I have my speakers arranged along the long wall of my 12 x 28' living room on either side of my fireplace, firing across the short dimension, about 9' from drivers to listening position. I had the 10" Glenair for a while (Tulip waveguide), but couldn't seem to get far enough away from the speakers for them to resolve.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob R
