| Priorities... Not at all....just that you have lots of money tied up in all that "big iron" that is unnecessary for Tannoys. $$$ that could be used to buy a nice quality integrated, which Tannoys do very well with. For tubes think Manley Stingray, VAC, PrimaL... | |
| Priorities... As an owner of Tannoys, you do not need Gamut monoblocks to power them. Yes, you need some clean power, but quality is the most important factor. Decide if you want tube or ss. As for me, I went tube pre and ss amp for my DC8s. From my researc... | |
| Most underrated Audio Manufacturers Forgot one; Belles ( Power Modules )! Dave Belles still going strong as he just released the Aria series. Regards........ | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? Try both with your own ears ( not the press ) and perhaps you won't have to worry about resale. I had a Soloist 1 and really enjoyed it. Only reason I sold it was because I sold the Vandersteen 2s that went with it....too big for my room. I'd l... | |

| Vandersteen Quatro CT Jim Thiel was the best. I met him once and knew he was a perfectionist. I do wish he would have passed on his knowledge to someone who could have carried on his legacy. However, as hifiguys stated, that wasn't Jim. Vandersteen is excellent as ... | |
| Opinions please on integrated for green mountain europas Try to locate one of Gilbert's Blue Circle Integrateds...the Dar perhaps. Read of great synergy between the two. I've not heard it however. Good luck. Regards......... | |

| Anyone own the Thiel 1.7? Congrats pureharmony21! Always like reading about Thiels. Glad you're happy with them. I've looked at them a few times. Agree with the lack of reviews. They came along kind of at a bad time as Jim Thiel passed away and the new owners ruined, ... |
