Glad it's working out for you. Large Tannoys do have a wonderful bloom to the bass. The problem is that sometimes with modern sources it can be a bit too full for 2017 tastes. It can even mess up the mid/treble if allowed unchecked. I resorted to a couple of slatted low mass wooden IKEA benches for my DCs.
High-mass stands for Tannoys?

Haven't had a chance to find the wood pellets yet, but tbh things are sounding pretty good as is.
I spent a couple of hours yesterday lining the rear and side panels with adhesive bitumen from Wilmslow, underneath the egg-box foam that's there already. It's had quite a profound effect on the overall clarity and bass is a good deal more impactful. When I get the chance this week I'll line the top and bottom panels too. I get the feeling I'm only just beginning to hear what these drivers can do.

That's good news, I imagine if you get the speaker correct first, the rest will fall into place.
I owned a pair of Epos ES12 speakers last year, they are the least resonant cabinet I have ever encountered, completely dead when tapped with a knuckle, the sound remained the same on any stand I tried them on.
