Best vintage Tannoy for rock?


I know that Tannoy speakers are not usually associated with rock but I'm mesmerized by the sound of old Tannoy 15 monitors (Super Red, Gold, Classic etc) in big cabinets. The sound is huge and beautiful - you just don't get anything like that from the modern Tannoys. So what's the best vintage Tannoy speaker to rock out with deep bass and tons of punch? I'll be using Manley 250 monos.

I have had Tannoy 12" Monitor Golds for 40 years in 3.3 cu/ft
cabs, a lot of wonderful rock in smaller rooms. Three years ago I was able to move my system to the living room and fell in love with 15's. I now have Canterbury SE's from the Prestige series, and they load my room very well... (16X19X8)
I get a very satisfying illusion of rock concerts on demand.
Those Manleys would light them up very well!
Supertweeter use is not unanimous. Many folks like the older style (including new Prestige line speakers) without.
Kiddman, with all due repect, you would have to hear my Tannoys before you pass judgement. Mine are 12" HPD's, and have been reconed with hard edge surrounds.

The crossovers were designed for me by Dr. Arthur Loesch of Tempo Electric, and consist of 12 gauge Alpha Core ribbon inductors, Mundorf SIO caps, Dueland resistors, and are wired with solid silver hook-up wire.

The enclosures are 150 liter bass-reflex, are nearly 2" thick, and weigh 200lbs. each.

They rock hard when asked to, and are equally as good on any type of classical or jazz you care to run through them.

All this in a room 16' X 34" w/cathedral ceilings, and can play at satisfying levels with a 9 Wpc SET 300B driving them. Newer doesn't mean better, just more expensive.
