Derrick Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 A local record store here has a pair of Tannoy Westminster’s as their house speakers. They occasionally turn them up a bit and all I can say is wow! Powerhouse speakers. Should be for 40k I guess. I wonder how they would compare to Khorns? https://www.tannoy.com/Categories/Tannoy/PRESTIGE-GR/WESTMINSTER-ROYAL-GR-OW/p/P0DER#googtrans(en|en) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 If I win the lottery I would buy a pair of those, khorns, and Jubilees. Different rooms for each. I would love to hear a pair of those. Where about is this audio store you speak of? I think price wise, Khorns and Jubilees would be hard to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 The Record Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Cool shop. They often have live bands playing while you flip through records. The Tannoys are on a half wall at the back of the store. They are impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Ottawa last week and will be returning in April. Would like to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Close to downtown. Westborough area. 1099 Wellington street. Worth the trip especially when a band is on which I usually every weekend. They actually record live shows on reel to reel and release records. http://www.therecordcentre.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 At least you are not traveling while the Brier is on! Pretty sure no one else will know what we are talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 They have a nice Marantz 4270 but I am not big on quads if you only really want 2 channel. Too many parts to replace and too many things to go wrong. Nice unit though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Fortunately I’ll be in YK watching at the pub across the street. Really looking forward to checking this place out. Had I known about it last week I would have made the time. Fortunately I get down to Ottawa a couple times of year and this place is now on my radar. The wife might be surprised if I return with a 2000 series Marantz instead of the couple dozen knishes and a few salamis from the Rideau Bakery that I usually bring back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 It’s in a cool neighbourhood. Lots of pubs and restaurants to check out for lunch. A bit hipster-ish but that’s Ottawa. I moved from Toronto 5 years ago. Born and raised in Sudbury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have heard the Westminsters. Impressive in their size. Also, our local Tannoy dealer has them in his home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
