| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Charles, I must admit to being an SET man at heart as well. If I thought I could get away with it I'd go 45 based amps but I fear that would be a step too far. I really, really Loved the yamamoto a08-s but at max 2 watts per channel simply not en... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hi Guys, thanks for your very helpful suggestions. While I am very keen to go back to directly heated SET, from what you mention above, I'm not sure the usual fare will be "powerful" enough. Tannoy recommends min 50 watts, but the specs (99db 1w/M... | |

| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Hi Rocky, I bought the Yamy unheard from japan and it was the best hi-fi purchase i've made. Its super well constructed and looks much better in the flesh than the piccys let on.As you no-doubt have picked up, Speaker matching is vital. (I run AVG... | |
