Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.

I had chance to listen TW SE in friends house with Manley 25o old reference monoblocks yestarday.I have TW Royal versions at home with awesome SS amp Sroll Lyric(extremely clean sounding),I was very happy with it.But then i heard tube monoblocks Challenge 833 with 80w Aclass in triode and it was amazing.Since then I am thinking about tubes,many people were telling me,with Tannoys you need tubes and I did not listen.:( Yesterday I heard 20 yers old Manley as metioned above and I never heard such lows in my system,not even with 833's.I wonder,since these Manley"s are very rare to come by in used market,how would manley neo250 or 500 compare with these old beasts 240 ref?Any thoughts?Yesterday's listening experience gave me a big lesson,you don't need precise clean sterile amp to achive the highest goal and that is :MUSIC SHOULD PASS THROUGH THE EMOTIONAL INFORMATION(John Atkinson said that few years ago on this subject)!So I decided to try McIntosh monoblocks 2301.I will bring them for audition on saturday.Manley sound is staying with me till then.Greetings from Czech rep

Art,I found out TW need high power tube amp,the more the better,shocking results

So I heard 2301's and theat was a lot of fun though very expensive.I purchased Neo500,I will report what I think about it when I get it.

Wylmars.I strongly recommend to try mcIntosh tube power amps 2301.Check AudioAficionado forum for reviews.I own these and they are the best amps I have ever heard with Tannoy Westminsters.

I am using monoblocks SE-833 with TW
