Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR

Thanks guys. Yes I am leaning very much towards the Onyx mono blocks. They seem like very capable amps at a decent price.

Mattam:
Do your LE Turnberry's use the pepperpot tweeters and are the speakers any more efficient than the normal Turnberry's?

Would love to hear other Tannoy Turnberry GR or Stirling GR owners chime in here.

So if a good solid state amp would work well would a Bryston 3B SST be a good match? They are plentiful and affordable.

I refer to Bryston because I have owned many in the past and I can get a used 3B ST for under $800. That gives me a great amp for a backup and until I find a great tube amp for these speakers. I have to admit I am a little disappointed in the low number of postings here. Maybe Tannoy owners do not use Agon.

Thanks Pani. I will check out the Naim Nait 5i. I have also been looking at McIntosh amps. It seems like they are a good match with Tannoys. I have read several positive comments from Tannoy users who are using McIntosh solid state and tube amps.

S1nn3r - Those are some nice looking amps. Have you tried other Manleys with your Kensingtons?

realized that these speakers sound so clean and dynamic
that any amount of power can be consumed unknowingly."

Pani - can you give me your impression on the MC275 you demoed? I stopped into a dealer yesterday and had a chat with a salesman. He suggested that the MC275 would be a great match with my Turnberrys and even offered me a very good deal on a brand new unit. I am very tempted to snap it up. He thought this amp would be a much better match with my speakers vs the MC452.

I have ruled out the Wyetech Onyx but I still have the Wyetech Topaz on the list. The MC275 looks intriguing.

Atmasphere:
Can you tell me where in Canada I can demo your amps? I live in BC but I also travel quite frequently to Calgary, AB. Well made amps.

That video on the manufacturing of the MC275 kind of disappointed me. It seems like McIntosh is cutting some corners in making these tube amps. Definitely not the quality of the McIntosh I was familiar with. I now am thinking of going with the Wyetech Topaz. That build quality really is first rate - I just need to hear it before I make my final decision. Otherwise, I will likely just get a SS amp to tide me over for a bit until I find my dream amp.
