I'm in a similiar situation as Borg7x9. I have a brand new pair of Tannoy Westminster Royal SE sitting in the other room 'ampless'. I've recently sold (April) my SS amp and not yet replaced it. So, I have a short list: Wavac MD-805m, Audio Note Conquest Silver Signature (low gain), Viva Aurora T (845), LAMM 2.1 and Almarro A340. I am concerned with the power variance between these amplifiers (i.e., 18-55 watts) and my inability to actually hear these combinations. I'm running out of patience with myself leaning one way today, and another tomorrow. It's time to make an informed decision ... with your help.
Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.
Hello again everyone. Its been a while but I'd like your advice if possible.
I'm waiting for a pair of Tannoy Westminster royal SE's to arrive ( end of dec ). And I'm wondering what to amps to match them with. I have very limited funds at the moment(budget of 3k or so), having lashed out on the speakers, and I'm thinking I'd like to go SET power amps again. So looking at second hand bargains. At the moment I'm thinking Sophia Electric 300b or Art Audio symphony II. Alternative suggestions please !!!!
To give you an idea of my tastes. The system I've put together, that I enjoyed the most, was Avantgarde Duo's and Yamamoto A08s. Loved it. I listen to all sorts of music: Rock, choral, opera, jazz. Love well done female vocals :-)
Thanks for your time.
