It's a very small data point, but about five years back I took some 2A3 monoblocks into a dealer showroom to qualify the Churchills for SET amplification. They sounded anemic--at least on 3W. In addition to the lack of dynamics in this less-than-optimal pairing, the midrange lacked smoothness and refinement I was used to with the Wilsons. In that same showroom the SETs were much happier driving Cabasse Farellas.
Tannoy Westminster Royal HE
Hi, I would like to hear your opinions and comments regarding the Tannoy Westminsters. These very oldfashioned (to many: ugly) looking speakers have been quite a while, undergoing various modifications. According to some audiophiles they sound impressive. How will they sound compared to my current speakers, the Dunlavy SC-Vs? Do the Tannoys beat them in terms of sonics and sheer musicality? Do you have to drive them with single ended amplification or can they also sound good with solid state? Thx in advance.
