Hello, I see you are using Transcendent Sound amps, the first I've seen in these pages. Several years ago, I built a Grounded Grid line stage, which I improved on with parts upgrades in several areas. It sounds amazing, considering its cost. I've been curious about their amps, wondering how they would work in my system. I'm successfully able to use an SET 300B (9 Wpc) to drive my custom Tannoys, so I'm pretty sure the Transcendent amp would work well too.

Regards, and enjoy,
Dan
