Hales Transcendence 8 Speakers


Hi there.Just joined up yesterday.I'm over here in England and hoping somebody can help me,sure would be grateful.There is a pair of Hales Tr 8 speakers for sale here which interest me greatly.The seller has no idea as to the SENSITIVITY of the speaker OR of the impedance either.Can anyone advise me?Are they power hungry blighters?You see I have a wonderful amplifier (Pathos Inpol2 integrated).It is a hybrid amp being a valve preamp and a Pure Class A power amp but only 45wpc.This amp is capable of beautiful and beguiling sound,especially midrange,with efficient,highish sensitivity speakers.Seller offering them at £1900 (GBP) and claims the full RRP was £10,000 when new.Any help greatly recieved. Believe it or not it is 36 degrees C here today.YES IN ENGLAND.Many thanks,Woodpecker.

Dear Mr. Wood--; These great speakers love powerful SS amps. So, if you listen loud and have a largish room; the amp you now own could be a slight problem. As I remember they were around 8k,American bucks,new at that time.I nearly bought a pair 5/6 years ago. ___ 36 degrees??? In my spot on our globe it has reached 100 every day for near 4weeks. They had some high 80's for the tennis 3 weeks ago,no??
Thanks for the input on the price,when new---I guess the 8k I remember was for a used pair,duh? ----Oh, and the C vs F thing too.
