Speakers for Manley amps
Tannoy!!! I have used Snapper and 300B monoblocks and they both drive Kensington and GRF easily.

Manley 300B Neo-Classic! 
Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7
S1nn3r: Yes, I use the Neo-Classic 300B, almost every time in single-ended configuration, with only 11 watt. Even if I like soul, rnb, hiphop (besides jazz, rock and sing-and-songwriter), there is seldom any problem with power reserves. The beauty... 
Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7
Sorry for the double posting.Wow, S1nn3r, you have some nice gear! Manley and Tannoy are a raw combination. And, you do not need to worry about enough power. I use only 11 watts of Manley power on the same speaker:-) 
Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7
Interesting experience you, Larry, have with Kensington. I can recognize that Kensington have a very high transient speed in the midrange, but I have never had problems with sibilance. This may have been a problem with matching amps and cables?

Tannoy Speaker Cable Synergy
I have done some research into the question of cables and Tannoy Prestige, since I have lived with Kensington SE for 5 years and now for the last months Kensington GR. Tannoy states that they use Oyaide, but I also have heard rumours of they using...

Aldavis: I have had Kensington GR for one month now, so they are still burning-in. Thus, I cannot say that much yet. Before these I had Kensington SE and with these I remember a very long burn-in period. An impression is that GR sounds better from...

Here is another perspective: after years of experience with the Kensington and other models in the Prestige Line, I can say that Kensington offer most of all the qualities of Yokrminster, Canterbury and even Westminster. One of my best hifi-buddie... 
What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ?
At the moment I am driving my Kensington with Manley Neo-Classic 300B SE/PP with single-ended typology (11 watt). The sound is as full, dynamic an funky as with Snappers (100watt), but with better holography, midrange magic and transparency. It al...
