*** I am positive that if you get 100 pieces of exactly your model of Tannoy, they will ALL sound different.
 
Very likely, I have 6 drivers and one of them sound as I need, all the rest of them are compromised. They still have the similar characters however but different damages.

*** I do not have a test for this, but feel that point source in this context has benefits that Macondo did not. Sure, humans do not have great resolution in the vertical plane - when we are listening for the normal "stuff", but for many really great recordings, the main microphones WERE point source...
 
I do not feel that I can debate it as I do not feel that point source  or vertical line array are objectives they are just methods. The result is the one the matters. My wife way much prefers Macondo, she has very acute sonic sensitivity from vertical plane and she like the stratification of intermetals sections by different channels. Be she and I hear differently and she is not able to extrapolate narrow minded potentials, I can.

*** Just trying to think about what is different - 1) Tannoy is worse in frequency response2) Tannoy is worse in tone3) Tannoy is worse in dynamics4) Tannoy is worse in distortion5) Tannoy is point source6) Tannoy does not use optimized crossover7) Tannoy is convenient
In any case, your Cetla setup also was "convenient", used the same amp and I wonder if there was "IT" in the presentation? 
Nope, Cetla, did not have any “it” factor at all but I hardly remember that I run Cetla more then 2-3 hours, also the were running only video and the sources in there, all of them crap. Regarding the Dannoy is worse in this or that dimension…. it is complex to debate or to answer. If I will be able to make my Remedios to sound in the same way how I had Dannoy sounding a month ago (and I am planning to make it MUCH better) then I will be having my feeling of own credentials to propose of advocate anything. As this point I have only some hope and ideas the need to be not only tested but materialled. In contrary to most of audio people if I run my mouth only if I have something demonstrable to back it up. At this point I have badly operational prototypes and a few stupid moves that that I have made and that do not advance to anything. Let return to this conversation is 1-2 months when I will have Remidios operational in more or less major-problem-free capacity and then I will be able to gauge  how much worth all the I fetishizes myself.
