Hi Chess,
Thanks for the interesting feedback on the Tannoys and the Axioms. I knew Tannoys were expensive but 4k used? I hesitate to ask how much they are new.
I see from recent ads that KEF is still using the Uni-Q coincident drivers, which in my view were a major engineering mis-step, so it's interesting to hear your feedback on those as well.
Regards,

The models that we bought we about 6k Cdn new, which is no doubt an inflated price although i was told that Tannoy sets their prices like Saturn cars, the price is the price.
The model that would better compare in size to the M60 would be the D500, not the D700. Its new retail price was about $4200 if i recall but still weighed in at more than 60 lbs a piece. There is quite a bit more material and bracing inside these Definition cabinets. Their shape has the same tapered rear design as Axiom, something they built into this series since its debut around 1992.

I am tentatively thinking of the afternoon of the 29th for a listening test (I don't think I will have our truck back from the shop for this upcoming weekend to transport the speakers). How does that sound to you Bren and Chesseroo?
Chess, do you think you will have a speaker switcher setup by then or do you need more time?
