Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions
If your amplifier supports balanced inputs then I would feed it with a balanced source.The reason there are balanced cables and a balanced system is that it offers you the ability to have the cables drop out of the overall system sound. I am sure ... 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear

New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
Lewm, I think that is driven by skating forces that arise as soon as the arm is out of tangent. If you'll notice the cartridge is mounted square in the headshell- no offset angle- which would increase said forces.

Is your amp single-ended input or balanced? 
What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ?
If you are installing an electronic crossover, the answer is you will loose detail in doing so. Bi-wiring is a means of getting speaker cables to sound better, which is why some speakers have the capability.

Larry, if you looked at that link I posted, you would have no questions.

Gwho, when you read that stuff about active eq/room correction, it really does not apply to a high resolution system or the people saying really aren't listening that closely. If you want a crossover, talk to Tom Tutay 850-244-3041 he makes the be... 
Innersound Electrostatic amp driving Quad esl 57's
The danger with the '57 is arcing damage due to too much power, hence the 25 watt thing.But they are also very tube friendly (in fact were designed for tubes), and will make bass with a tube amp that they will not with transistors. If I were you I...

Yes, Tannoys are easy to drive, and don't benefit from being bi-amplified. You are best off just giving it your best shot with the amp. 
Tube amp for ProAc Tablette Anniversary
Unless you are listening near field you will want some power on this speaker. Smaller SETs will be disappointing. 
Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP
If I were you I would look at the numbers in your original post. You are putting 50 watts on top and 200 on the bottom. Can you run the speaker with just one amp?I think what you will find when you install the crossover is that an additional veil ... 
Amp Shutting Down, need help
If it was harmonics, no electrician can help you. The power company can though. Its the 5th harmonic (300Hz) that causes most of the troubles and it can cause transformer cores to become noisy. Not heard of it actually causing an amplifier to shut... 
New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?
The arm falls into a tradition that goes back to the 1950s- pivoted arms that are capable of 0 degree tangential error.If interested there is an extensive thread with lots of photos and diagrams on DIYaudio.com:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analo...

Stay away from room EQ! If you want to complicate things (which you say you don't want to do) EQ is a good place to start. The problem you are up against is that you are dealing with a very transparent speaker, and the effects of DSP are easily au... 
What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ?
We have a few customers that have the larger Tannoys. They seem to prefer our M-60 amplifiers, which have a greater amount of power (really handly on the big Tannoys as their efficiency is in the high 90s, which makes them unsuitable for lower pow...
