Tannoy Prestige speakers (Dual concentric driver) because of their ability to sing, bass is very tight and deep; voices are as natural as breathing; overall sound is smooth as silk. Dynamics are amazing, certainly when driven by the MC252. He brings the power, musicality and control I was searching for. More power would be crazy because of the fact that these speakers are 94db sensitive. The Edinburgh HE has a 300 mm dual concentric driver, which sounds amazingly smooth. Big boys don t have to try so hard!!!
Ive been thinking about tubes, but the maintenance and the lack of power has kept away from them. When driven hard these speakers need control, certainly when this 300mm woofer starts to dance, Im not sure I would be able to get that control with tubes (in the same budget range).
Recently I added the Mc252 from audioclassics.com to replace the old but good Mc2105.
Ive chosen Mcintosh electronics, mainly because of the relax sound, I can listen for hours to the set. At this point Im a bit afraid to add or change components, perhaps in the future a new preamplifier (C220 for example).
Any suggestions or comments? Dont hesitate to post them.
