Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?

@ianderson

To the OP mmcgill, if you like the purity of SET, and your down the the two choices only, I think the GM70 in the NAT audio single HPS v2 has got the minimum current and can drive the Tannoy to sing well, and will really sound sweet. As usual it about personal preference, synergy, and your room. You need to find what works best for you.

Good comments and suggestions. That NAT has enough quality power I believe for these Tannoys. And, the OP has heard this NAT with Tannoys and found this pairing sounds "incredible". I can see where the Atma-sphere M60s would be a very good option, no doubt. I also agree that an 8 watt 300b SET would not be the best choice with these speakers.

The Almarro 318B can drive Tannoys quite well and that is a SET of about 15 watts.

It is a bit unusual for a SET however because it uses a fair bit of negative feedback.Most SETs use zero negative feedback.The 6C33C valves can also supply a lot more current than say a 300B.

Tannoy Stirling GR owner here I just acquired a new custom build Dynaco ST-70 by Chris Keller in NC and it's an amazing piece.  I've owned a bunch of tube amps over the years and this is really fantastic and an amazing value.  My last tube amp was a  Music Reference RM 10 MkII and my alternate full-time amps are Atma-Sphere class D monos.  It's here to stay.

I just wanted to confirm the comments that KT66 amps are stellar for the Tannoy Turnberry. I use a Line Magnetic 126 which is a KT66 amp and the Turnberry GR’s simply sing. Also, this is a 15 watt, class A amp that weighs 105 lbs so there’s no shortage of current and the speakers are well driven. Highly recommend the pairing.

That's one serious looking amplifier and I suspect very well executed. I have no doubts that your Tannoys truly sing driven by this amplifier.
