I have heard the same thing about the XT8f's. Seems the drivers are not tube friendly. Are you using the bi wire connection, or the bridged connection?
Help Tannoy XT6F with Primaluna
Hello all. I have just purchased a pair of Tannoy XT6Fs that are supposed to replace pair of KEF LS50s. I am driving the new Tannoys with a PrimaLuna prologue premium power amplifier. It is the same amplifier I have been using on the KEFs. The Tannoys are almost unlistenable. The upper mid range is very peaky and there is not much bass. I have tried both the four and the eight ohm taps. I have also tried the stock EL34 tubes and some KT 150s. Both sound the same. I got out my old Rotel 990 solid state power amp. It sounds much much better on the Tannoys. I have read only spectacular reviews about this speaker. I'm running all Morrow cables. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
