ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better?


Check the latest review of these two great amps at http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Amplifiers.html.

Let me know what you think?

I own the Tenor 75 WPs. After hearing about the ASL Hurricanes I obtained a pair to listen to in my system. While for the money the ASL was a good amp, it did not compete with the Tenors in my opinion. My comparison was done on a pair of Talon Khorus X speakers which the Tenors did not drive well in my big room. The only thing that the ASLs did better was offer a little more control. While I liked the control, the overall sound of the amp did not impress me versus the Tenors. I latter heard that there was a different version of the ASLs and I also listened to that version in my system,with the dealer. He ended up taking them home and agreed that the ASL was not a match for the Tenors. This was also on the not very efficient Khorus X speakers. I have since gotten a pair of Firebirds with a diamond tweeter (much more efficient than the Khorus X). This is the closest my system has ever sounded to live music. Matched with the right speaker (efficient speakers)the Tenors are awesome if you can afford them. If my budget was lower, the ASL is a good amp but it was not my holy grail.

I am anxiously awaiting a demo of the Firebirds.

Great comments everyone. Thanks.
