Looking for a new powerful amp.
thanks for the info guys...I'm going to audition the Pass X350.5 and Audio Research 300.2...I will probably not upgrade the speakers until sometime next year. the Tannoy's will do for now. Btw, the sensitivity rating on the Tannoy 1200's is 95db/1...

How do you get to listen to high end speakers?
I have experienced this treatment many times...I'll go into a store ask a few questions & not get any real response from a salesman. Once I tell them some of the equipment that I have (Levinson 40, Levinson 436's, Revel Salons) the Red Carpet ...

Proceed PMDT DVD CD transport
