Has anyone compared SP16 to C2200 ... ?

Hi Arthurmail

The 615 has the same type of "sound" as the D700, but lacks 3D, imaging compared to the latter : it has only a 8" vs 10" Dual Concentric driver.

The Turnberry is more smooth compared to 615 and d700, which are closer to System 800 and 10DMTII, that I have also.
Perhaps due to the paper cone ?

Furthermore, the 615 looks like a Darth Vader's starfighter ;-) !

Question for emile.......how do you like the 615 as compared to your d700 and turnberry

i use the c22 with an mc2102. the c2200 throws a larger soundstage and doesn't roll off on the highest frequencies. like the 16 it has a great deal of detail, but it retains more tube sweetness. the c22 has been in my system for almost a decade, and although (through a lengthy audition)i know the 2200 is a better performer, i've grown too fond of the re-issue to part with it. the phono section is also great. speakers are gradient revolutions...front end(s)..mcd205/thorens jubalee.

Hi Jrd351
What are your amp and speakers ?
I have Tannoy : 615, D700, Turnberry, etc ...

May you give more details about "C22reissue vs C2200" ?

the 2200 beats both the others...although i own the c22 reissue.
