Hi Ian

I am not claiming anything, simply expressing an opinion. You somehow
seem to think that because it differs from yours it is somehow worth less.


Well, for what its worth I agree with you, but then we are the same
age. so maybe our hearing is up the shoot!

Still for my sixpenny worth, I have never heard a speaker that matches
the soundstage of big Tannoys. That's why I shelled out my hard earned
on a pair of Tannoy Yorks recently.

Maybe the voices 'honk' but I don't hear that!

Regards

David

But then again most "voice" is from the Radio, and that especially from
the digital BBC leaves a bit or two to be desired;!...

Maybe that's the reason. We both heard Tannoys so much our hearing is
damaged in the 'honk' region' so we don't hear it. That said I don't
ever remember hearing it in the first place. I'll admit the little 12
inch Golds I have now do 'honk' but that's the crappy small cabinets
they are in - another project.

I remember testing my hearing back in the 70 and I could hear up to near
20KHz. Today it drops like a stone from 12KHz.

Cheers

The one bugbear with my Lowthers is that male voices on the radio can/do
sound 'honky' - everything else is sublime!!
