Tube amp advice
Manley Snapper can probably do it; and fully balanced. 
Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help?
Leben amps may do the magical trick. Check out Jeff Day's reviews, if you have not allready. 
Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size
Yeah, one more thing: Chasas1 mentioned all the Japanese systems with huge Tannoys in small rooms. I have seen a lot of pictures of these beautifull systems. However, I have the impression that they often pair Tannoys with flea-powered SET amps an... 
Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size
I think that your room will match Kensington just right. Even though your room is half of mine, I can tell you that they are not that finchy on placement. I have them placed between 1,6' - 2' (I hope I got that right, I am used to the European met...

Right/Left channel balance issues? Pre-amp
I did have the same problem. It took some time to figure out that it was the potentiometer that were unbalanced. I sent it back to seller, he put in a new one and it sings again. It is very frustrating with all the waiting and uncertainty, but it ... 
ASR Emitter owners,What speakers are you using?
I have heard ASR driving several different Tannoy speakers in the Prestige line. It matches beatifully, very synergistic. Had it not been for I'm in love with driving my Tannoy's with tubes, I think I would go for ASR. I have even heard rumours of...
