| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Mulveling, thanks for your tips. I will need to introduce a good preamp with the right gain as you suggested, at some point in time in the future. But that's when my own financial situation improves ;) or after I sell my Dali MS5 speakers ! | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dover and Dave72, thanks for your responses. It appears that good powerful amp is preferred to control the base. To implement Dave72's suggestion, I would need a preamp with two outputs. Nevertheless, it is an interesting point to understand theor... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Hornguys, thank you for your response. Appreciate your inputs on couple of points :1. I had initially toed in the speakers as per the manual in "intensity stereo toe in" mode or "crossfiring" mode. However, yesterday I followed the "Get Better Sou... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Sksos1, you have pointed out another important area - the gain in the preamp. In my case, I don't have a preamp and also just switched from Ayon CD5 to Oppo BDP-95 to play directly into the amps. This could be a problem area too and I need to reve... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Maril555, thanks a lot for your inputs. I have very high regard for Jim Smith and the fact that he had bought the same speakers also motivated me to go for the Canterburies. You are absolutely right, I would have loved to hire Jim Smith, however I... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Sksos1, thanks, I guess as mentioned earlier in the thread, the current delivery capability maybe more important than the watts specification itself. Will read more about the Thor. | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dan, Thanks, I shall look into VAC Phi 200. Glad to know that VAC is well experienced with Tannoys. Also nice to hear that you love your updated amps ! Enjoy ! | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Goldprintaudio and Musicophile, thanks for your recommendations too.This tempts me to hook up my previous Nuforce Ref9V3SE amps with the Tannoys to check the results. | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Mulveling, thank you very much for your detailed and encouraging response.It's a relief to know that a 100 watt tube amp should reasonably drive these speakers. Also good to know that you are running 250 W amps. At one point, I was wondering if I ... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dover, I am using the Pentode mode. Although I tried the Triode mode on couple of occasions with different speakers, it appeared so lifeless to me that I actually wondered why the Triode mode was there at all. Perhaps it was bcos of my speakers/sy... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Buconero117, I see your point. I hope to get a few names/types which people found to be matching well with Canterburies, I will have this shortlist as a starting point in my search. | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dan, Thanks for your inputs. I believe the current delivery capability matters most here. I am wondering what is the equivalent of the older VAC model you mentioned available nowadays. I see only high powered amps on their website now.Phaelon,Than... | |
| 845 Tube Amps Thanks Goldprintaudio, I shall read more about these amps. The previous owner was not quite happy with Cary though.BTW, I have created a separate thread for "Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE". | |
| 845 Tube Amps Phaelon, Goldprintaudio and Martyk1,Thank you so much for your inputs.I have just got the Tannoy Canterbury SE speakers and am researching on a suitable Amp to match this. I don't want to hijack this thread, so I am opening a separate thread right... | |
| 845 Tube Amps Phaelon, thanks for your response. My current KT88 Amp can be run in either Pentode or Triode mode. I always run them in Pentode mode bcos of better dynamics and punch. Will I get similar dynamics and punch from 845 amps ? How does 845 and KT88 co... |
