BLAH BLAH Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 IMO the Kef's win... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al.M Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Again, generally pointless exercise as it misses out what each can really sound like in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willmax Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thank you for all the feedback and support comments, I know my listening room is not perfect, actually far from it, but it is what it is and I try to make the best and have fun within the constraints of what I have. I enjoy doing these videos and will continue to do so, as I believe there are people out there who also enjoy it as well. On a side note, I would love to see other members showing their appropriately positioned and suitably matched amplifier/speaker videos, that would be quite something, as I have not seen many members willing to do that on platforms like YouTube. If you are out there please do let us know! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deanB Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Kudos for playing something meaty @Yamaha_man. All those YouTube vids with sparse and purty music do my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I would suggest is swap speaker positions half way to make it a fairer shootout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A9X Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I've owned both, and the Cheviots are hampered by an extremely inadequate enclosure and a mediocre xover. So, given a pick, stock, I'd take the KEFs. Let me modify the Cheviots the way I'd like (and have done) and they'd most likely be the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For movies, i.e. in a 5.1 setup, the KEF 104/2, given its fuller and more coloured sound signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 KEF 104/2 performs really well in this video, but I'm sure HPD315 drivers has got more potential when paired with good cabinets and crossover tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakey72 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I auditioned the Tannoy Turnberry against the Harbeth Super HL5 Plus and prefered the Harbeth. The Harbeth were very laid back and warm but still detailed. The Tannoy were very detailed but on the brighter side. Both fantastic sounding speakers though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the same boat. I had read people that loved them and people that thought them nothing special. I listened (well my wife and I) to a pair with a tube amp and music that suited them. They were glorious. I think they are very good BUT with the right amp and music. I don't think they would be a broad genre type speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
