| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @lalitk Hello! How are you? Accuphase is on my radar, but the dizzying array of models....well, is dizzying! Your Canterbury's are easier to drive, but I think Class A is the way to go - hence my Pass Labs interest. Any other used models more in t... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? DONE! | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? From what I've read, the XA25 is both underrated and that class A has enough more current to be plenty of power...I think. The 30's push a little harder even, I think. I'm not sure and hope some with direct experience can speak to that. I'm surpr... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR @leotis I was (pleasantly) surprised at the improvement after 100hours. The falling apart continues to come back together, even after 150-175 hours. It's a crazy torture for sure. The low crossover also felt like a potential contributor, so Robert... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR Checking back in. I found some of the same. The Stirlings sound MUCH improved at 150-175 hrs. They started to change for the better around 100hr. What a relief! My Leben CS600 at 30wpc is underpowered. It's an amazing sounding piece of gear, but ... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR As a follow up, after 100 hours or so the Stirlings have calmed down quite a bit. Still tough for moderately long listening and I'm pointing my finger at my source....although the same defect is true with both my digital and vinyl. Finding time to... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR Omystarsandgarters. So much for the understanding of those who believed they were "in the know". I wonder when that is supposed to have started. And, sort of, if the splitting of the lines for production holds any water - or consequence, really. M... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR Thanks for that @mulveling - I'll take it under consideration before tossing out the baby with the bathwater. My friend down the street w/Stirlings just told me he went through a similar experience, but blamed his midfi ss amp (probably not too fa... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR My pair was made 8/20 according to the signed booklet that came with it as part of of the groovy prestige package. Nice touch for sure...corny, but I like it! And, according to what info I can gather, were made in Scotland Part of the story goes ... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR Well, I'm told by the dealer in Montreal 250hr and by Upscale 300hr with some significant change at 100. Upscale is working with me to look into it. I'm dubious about taking them apart myself. The Montreal dealer wants a 25% restocking fee. As @mu... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! @pdreher Hi there! We've touched base in the past over Plinius (among other things). Thanks for sharing that experience with Simaudio. FWIW, A class AB Plinius SA-201 powered my Contour 2.8's and Confidence 3's and sounded amazing - I had a series... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR @pehare oooooohhhkaaayyy, then. thanks. I have some hologram ii biwire on the way, too, that may warm things up a bit. Sometimes patience is more of a virgin around here than a virtue. The dealer in Canada tells me 250-400 hours. my wife tells me... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR So, I took the plunge and my Stirlings were built in 10/21. The expressly claim to have been "designed, engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom." I made that a specific part of my request. That said, I'm a little paranoid over that. Befo... | |
| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Getting to this thread late. That somebody can compare these Heritage specials to the Confidence 3's is both great to hear and high praise! Having started with Contour 1.8's, then 2.8's - which had the Confidence Esotar tweeter - the sonic value o... | |
