| Help need an integrated amp for Tannoy Stirling Try the Dialogue one or two from Primaluna. I drive a pair of Glenair's with a Dialogue two using the Shuguang Treasure EL34 Tubes. Another amp I like is Jadis. Jadis is quite expensive though. Jim | |
| ATC owners present and former I own and still use, at times, the ATC-20/2's. They are remarkable for their clarity and drive. The down side is these speakers are unfailingly neutral. Bad recordings sound... well bad. Great recording sound... amazingly great. Admittedly, I neve... | |
| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? I once owned ATC SCM 12's and drove them with a Naim 112/150 combo (50 watts/channel). There was not enough oomph to really make the speakers shine. I changed to a LFD dual-mono 90 watts/channel. The difference was quite noticeable with much more ... | |
| Help/Advice Choosing SS integrated The new Linn Majik is an oft over-looked amplifier. It fits your needs based on the description above. Jim | |
| Tannoy TD12 vs Tannoy Glenair 15 There's magic to the 15 DC driver. The TD12's have the super tweeter but the Glenair's don't. The TD 12 cabinet is more bespoke than the Glenair. I've not heard the Glenair's but the Canterbury or Royal Westminster is to die for. Not the 15" drive... | |
| Best Powered Monitors I have Genelec and ATC. Genelec is more colored and easier to live with. The ATC's are ruthlessly revealing. However, with the proper ancillaries, the ATC are wonderful. Jim | |
| Amp for Tannoy TD12? Both types of amps will drive the Tannoy's. The selection depends on what sound you're trying to obtain. Tubes will provide a liquid midrange with wonderful harmonics. The solid state amp will provide more bass and slam but not quite the same midr... | |
| Tannoy Prestige vs Kingdom Chris, I've used both and alternate tubes and solid state all of the time. The best tube I've owned is the Jadis DA50S. The trick with tubes is find an amp with excellent bass control. I also have a primaluna Dialogue 2 with KT66's. It does quite ... | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? ATC's and Tannoy TD 12's have very different sounds. The ATC's, I own the 20-2's, are unfailingly neutral. They show their monitor heritage very well. Great recordings sound great and poor recordings sound dreadful. As many have said ATC's are ver... | |
| Tannoy Prestige vs Kingdom The current line of Tannoy Prestige speakers are the more audiophile of your choices. The Kingdom's are more colored sounding, meaning a slightly bloated mid bass and a bit of honk in the midrange. As you also know the Kingdom's, if you can find t... | |
| Anyone heard the Focal JM Labs Profile 908? I've heard the 908's 918's and 928's. The 908 is, clear, fast with superior midrange but light in bass and ultimately drive. I liked them as they are very easy to listen to, the music just flows. Jim | |

| Fritzspeakers Jaybo, Have you heard the Martin USA loudspeakers? Will you characterize their sound and/or compare to other speakers? Thank you. Jim | |
| EL 34s for Cayin A 50T Integrated Amp AudioGabby, To answer your question, I purchased the KT66's from TubeDepot. Jim | |
| EL 34s for Cayin A 50T Integrated Amp You might also try the KT77 tube. It's a replacemnt for the EL34. They have better bass but not quite the romantic midrange of an EL34.Audiogabby, I'm using Genalex KT66's in my Dialogue II to great effect. These tubes have great drive and amazing... |
