definitive pro cinema 800 vs Tannoy F1 mercury system

I take the "7" as "&" :rolleyes:

Now to answer your first question...Well, I'd anyday go with the Tannoys.

To answer "why"...there are many reasons. The most important one being, I love the F1 for their excellent hifi duties. I belive in a simple formula that - if a speaker is good for music, it will definitely be fit for movies by default, this is based on my experience and hence the choice!

All the best.
 
Thanks, you guessed correctly-7 =&

Any drawbacks of Tannoy F1 about compatibility,durability?
 
I can??t remember any drawbacks with the F1s. They are indeed very durable and are the least fuzzy about compatibility and positioning.

Oh well, some don??t like its rather boring looks:rolleyes:, that is, if that counts.

Plus, bookshelves always give a much richer and fuller sound compared to the satellites. Only you can decide what impresses you. Some serious auditioning and patience are highly recommended!

Tannoy F1 Customs.-- Sublime mids and highs ( not harsh at all ) . Audiophile qulaity to the bone . heard just one pair as a 2 ch set up .. simply superb. I think they retail for 16k a pair. Nuthign comes close to the quality at that price. Can compete with much more exp speakers with ease. Would not hesitate one bit. Tannoy distributor in delhi- Sunny -Great to do business with wiht excellent support. Incedently they also deal in krell which i bought through them.

can you provide any link of comparison?

Which is the model you told me about your experience?
 
Where did you find it in mumbai?? the custom is the new model & the better one.
All the best.


Its available on request at Alliance ,Andheri,Mumbai.

They will order from sunny acoustic Delhi.
But price difference is 2000.

So I want to know is there poit in spending more for newone ?
if yes then why?what for?
 
I believe the custom is now made in UK. It has new crossover & tweaked cabinet.
But the main point is that it is tonaly much better & spending 2k is wroth it.
All the best.

Hallo,

I have decided to go for complite system instead of buying seperate
speakers.

But again one query-

In whatshifi Best buy section they have always recommended Tannoy
Mercury F1 5.1 system with picture.As name suggest they should
contain 4 mercury F1 BS speakers.
But another review in July issue pg.63 says that F1 system contains
4 F1 custom not F1 speakers.I dont have earlier issue with system
review,also no review online.

I am confused.

Pls. tell me which is this 5.1 system recommended by Whathifi and also
won the award?

pls. reply.
