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.

You've already gotten all the advice I could provide - great speakers, need beefy amps, were in the neighborhood of $10K US back when that was sort of the high end of sanity. I believe Audio magazine ran a review of them back before it went defunct - I would think there'd be a copy of it out on the web somewhere. In any case, at the right price, they'd be a great buy.

Avguy - 36 C equals 98 F. And 98F to somebody who lives in England is like 115F to somebody who lives in a regularly hot place in the states.
