Just got a pair of beaten up Tannoy Devons. I have wanted to hear some dual concentrics for a good while. I have some Ditton 44 and AR3a's to compare them with...and a few amps, some even work. I'm going to have to work on these, a new crossover at some point, then the foams are going, but they don't sound beaten up. On my recapped Yamaha CR800, they sound great, on a Quad 34/405ii, not so magical, believe it or not the Dittons sound the best on the Quad. Then the type of music, dense rock - Dittons (with Quad or CR800), anything else Devons shine and stage better. AR3a, the bass is big and strong but its surprisingly off the pace, vocals a little set back, given I recapped them perhaps the mid range speaker is showing its age. So I'm happy to agee DC's are great speakers but thats not to say the 'great' isn't all down to the speaker.
