Oversized speakers

Bub

About 3 years ago I helped my son ( I negotiated ) a deal to buy a Marantz CDP and an amp from a guy in London. When we arrived at the house, we found that there was a father and 2 sons.  The sons had their systems in their respective bedrooms and the father had his system in a rather small dining room.

His system was a valve amp ( I forget the make) and 2 very large Tannoy speakers which he bought in the 1960's.  They were easily 3ft high and about 2 ft wide. They looked ridiculous in his tiny little room, however the sound was gorgeous.

Big speakers can sound good in some small rooms.
