Thanks for all the pix and for your review.

Yup, one of the reasons I quit paying attention was too rich for my blood. $85k for a set of speakers? Interesting about the Acapella's. I don't know how to judge things when something is off. Like being in a bad room but sounding good?

I've only heard one set of Tannoy's and they were near field monitors for recording. I liked them, they were very neutral sounding which is very important for mixing. KEF's are a very interesting beast as the guy who put me on to the whole hifi thing back in the 70's idolized KEF's but I never got to hear them. A year or two ago I saw on the local Craigslist somebody had a pair of KEF's for sale for I think $700. They were HUGE, made in the 70's and had been in storage for a while. When I contacted them they said they were going over to show them to somebody else and I asked if they had checked the speaker surrounds and what kind of shape were they in? Either they got offended or sold them because I never heard back. The attitude seemed to be they were a bargain so shut up. There was no way to listen to them and I don't think I could buy them without listening first.
