In one of my rigs, I'm currently running Linn Basik/Akito>Audiolab 6000a>ProAc Tab 10. Sounds amazing. But really, that's two former Scot companies and one true Brit. I also have a Rega P1 using Mission 737R speakers that I thoroughly enjoy in another system.
British Integrated Amps
I have a great affinity for British gear. I have owned many British speakers from ProAc, Celestion, Mission, Wharfedale, Tannoy, Mordaunt Short, KEF, Linn & Monitor Audio and they were all very musical sounding.
I had a Rega Planar 3 for over 25 years and much shorter stints with a Linn Basik/Akito arm, Thorens TD125 mkII w/Rega RB303 arm and now an Ariston RD80 SEL w/Jelco arm.
I have also owned several British integrateds: Onix OA-21s, OA-20/2, OA-60, Creek 5050, 4330, Musical Fidelity B1, Rotel RA870 and maybe a couple others that escape me right now and I now have a Meridian 504 tuner.
I particularly like the shoebox sized units, I just like the size and shape of them and that they don’t take up a lot of room.
Which British integrated amps have you owned, which were your favorites, which ones were overrated, overpriced and what speakers were you using with them that made them a yay or a nay?
Look forward to your comments! Thanks!
