| Tannoy Prestige made in China? I wonder if it differs by model. My Kensington stickers (like the one in the picture) says "made in the UK" where that one says "made in China." | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? I had 2 E112s die after very little use, less than one year each and used infrequently. The only reason I had two was JL replaced the first one (under warranty). The new one then died. In their favor, customer service was great. But I will not... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review Follow up. Since my first post I have about doubled the hours on the Kensington's. As far as hoping they would "open up" like the Turnberry's, it seemed like one day (at about 60 solid hours to include more full frequency burn in tracks, not jus... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review Thanks all, hope it has been informative. Noromance, for me, all things being equal, yes. As always it is a subjective and personal choice, especially based on budget. Generally the K's seem to be about double the T's cost. At retail, here in ... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? I've never heard anyone say that their component sounded worse after break in. If break in is a real phenomenon, then statistically how is that possible? Unless it explains why we constantly 'upgrade' to new gear. What if gear only sounded good... | |
| looking pre tube for mc452 I heard an ARC REF3 driving a MC402 a couple years ago at a fellow audiogoner's house. I thought the combo was stellar. | |
| McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs Follow up - so I shipped off the unit to Audio Classics as a last ditch effort (I live on the opposite Coast) knowing if anyone would know, they would. I got it back a few weeks ago, and it has been working withhout issue. As always, they did a ... | |
| McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs Thanks all, I'll try the tape switch. These units never had 3 prongs, only two, made in 1960... | |
| Tannoy? I had the same problem. I had been looking into them for years on the web, and having read all I could find on the prestige line became very fascinated with them, for a lot of reasons. I went to a show just to see if the Tannoy room had them, ev... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC After re-reading some of my comments here I wanted to correct a couple things that were probably not exactly what I wanted to say. First, I mentioned I have to sit on the ground with the Tannoy's. To clarify, if I want my ears to be level with t... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC Jetexpro, they do very well. I'm listening to Vaughn Williams' "Sea Symphony" right now, with peaks on my radio shack spl meter upwards of 97 db. Instruments remain separated, the sound is uncongested, no strain (effortless, as Pani talks about ... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC After a week of intermittent listening, there is a lot to like about the Tannoy's. I could sum up by saying that Pani's description above seems spot on to me. Some things I really like: First, as I listed in my original post I wanted something ... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC Follow up - I decided to try some Tannoy Turnberry SE Loudspeakers to finally audition some Tannoy's in my home and system. I figured this way I could hear the 'house' sound, and more importantly hear them with my vintage McIntosh equipment. I r... | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh So far most of the posts seem to disagree with Sid42 (the OP). He did not say anything about 50s-60s McIntosh. He mentioned 70s-90s. A lot of the transistor stuff (of course that's all there was...) from that time was not great. I don't unders... | |
| Tannoy vs. ATC Thanks Pani and all, appreciate the info. |
