Have a set of Tannoys that I’ve owned for neigh on 30 years, don’t use them presently but love them.
I think WHF got the heading info. wrong there. Firstly at £1899 it wouldn't fit in the price range of the award category, and secondly because the actual review suggests a price of £800:

Here's an old webpage with a price of £849 too:

The speakers may well still be amazing (or rubbish) but potentially not quite the bargain suggested?
Yep 104ab in system 2 fed via 80s Cambridge C50/A50 pre & pwr + DNM Reson SCsYes Kef 104ab if they are the speakers that @Lurch uses in his second system.
To clarify, I'm not suggesting that Kans are a bad combination with Arcam in particular.I would have to agree with @Beobloke Kans powered by Arcam is not an ideal match and would lead to some very difficult to listen to sounds . Kef 103 MK 1 , Kef 104b , would work well and sound very decent indeed .
Yes they are, but they have been modified with Wilmslow Audio crossovers.Yes Kef 104ab if they are the speakers that @Lurch uses in his second system.
"Take a five-star, £1400 pair of floorstanding speakers, cut down on the aesthetic niceties and limit it to one choice of finish, then slash £600 off the price."I think WHF got the heading info. wrong there.

For every example there is a counter-example...I am reminded of the room at the Stoke show that was way too small to swing a cat but had a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls shoe-horned into it. There was just about enough left for 3 or 4 listeners, maybe 5 or 6 if they were good friends. Sounded absolutely stunning.So, 2 pages of recommendations in and no-one has yet asked the fundamental questions about room dimensions, speaker positioning relative to listening position, music preferences etc.
All going to make a significant difference in speaker choice I would have thought.
Case in point, Linn Kans in the right position and room can sound great. Absolute necessity to have them on open frame stands right up against the wall. But being so fussy presumably has a lot to do with the poor impressions many have with them.
Zackly. The golden rule is that there is no golden rule.Aye, you never can tell, really.
Those big Cornwalls sounded amazing in what was basically a largish cupboard.
I'm currently listening to the 1/5th cubic foot B&O CX100 speakers I recommended in a 12x24 foot room and they sound great.
Fair point, although as someone pointed out to me recently, apparently the reason Klipsch named that speaker the Cornwall, is because it has been designed to be positioned close to corners and walls. So not as surprising as one might first think.For every example there is a counter-example...I am reminded of the room at the Stoke show that was way too small to swing a cat but had a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls shoe-horned into it.

I thought it was because they play loud enough to cover the entirety of Cornwall....Fair point, although as someone pointed out to me recently, apparently the reason Klipsch named that speaker the Cornwall, is because it has been designed to be positioned close to corners and walls.
