Description

Been a music(hi-fi)lover since i was about 14.The westminster royal he, has been by far the most important addition to the system. After too many years of changing(upgrading?) equipment based on magazine reviews and keeping up with the latest, the Tannoys have given me a new perspective on what can be achieved in the listening room.

I am enjoying music so much again.

Having tried many pre and power amps over the last year this is what sounds best for me.

Also i added Dynavector xv-1s.

Comments most welcome.

Cheers Rob.

I noticed you have a Vacuum state dpa-300. Very interseting design. Would really like to here what it's like. Amps that I have used with my Avantgarde Trios are: Wavac md300, Yamamoto A-08s, Atma-sphere M60, Cary 805C, and my current Viva Aurora 845 monos are by far my favorite. Just recently I aquired a Mactone MA-300b. I noticed you have some of these same amps in your system, How does the Vacuum state compare. Nice system, I've never had a chance to hear any big Tannoys yet.
Steve.
