I have made my choice, the dartzeel wouldn't be enough powerful... and i'm going to live in Montreal where one of the creator of the tenor live (and continue to repare it and upgrade it).

The only point is what i have to be aware of when i purchase it, in the second and market. I know there was some issues with the 300 but i don't know if it is the case with the 150 hps.
Maybe somme tenor owners can tell me....

Dear Samuel33:

Notre ami Mike Lavigne a raison et connait tres, tres bien le sujet. Surtout avec darTZeel a Geneve, le choix est d'autant plus facil. J'ai deux components Audo Research et ils font un bon produit, mais ils ne sont pas du tout au meme rang de darTZeel ou de Tenor. Le Manley est tres peu fiable et mange des lamps -- laissez tomber.

I better stop before the monitors get peaved.

Bonne chance.
