Description

This is my main system - the room is not ideal, the real stuff will come at a later stage, but the sound is still quite amazing as the gears have total control over the speakers, with the bass being extremely firm, limiting bad resonances in the room. It also has opening on both sides and at the back which helps a lot as well. If it was closed I would be death today with less a quarter volume level. The sound is the best I reached to date. Just about everything is there; very high resolution, balanced, precision of image and huge soundstage, incredible presence mostly due to the DC drivers and the pavilion, transparency, separation, timing, organic like liveliness, all playing as a coherent whole, and attack and dynamics are just phenomenal. The supertweeters add a lot to the resolution, precision and transparency and is an absolute must in my opinion with these Westies. I am thrilled by the fact that a future dedicated room (about 8W/10L/5H mts) will make this experience still better.

 Very nice system....one of the rare pairing of super tweeters with Tannoy’s. How do they impacted the overall sound of your system?
