Jimmy, I've enjoyed reading your experiences with the Turnberrys. I thought I'd add my two cents, as I've been using a pair of custom 12" HPD (ca 1975 Dual Concentrics), that have custom crossovers and have been converted to hard edge surrounds, as per the current Prestige drivers are.
I have driven them with a multitude of different amps, and my current favorites are a 500 Wpc class d amp, and a 9 Wpc SET 300B that the Tannoys sound delicious with. With either amp, the sound is very enjoyable, the class d delivers better bass, which you would expect given the disparity in power available. The SET is actually quite good at delivering excellent bass, as it has massive power supplies.
Having two such disparate amp topologies to choose from is something I enjoy being able to do, and I don't doubt that I will live happily this way for the unforseeable future.
Good luck to you, I don't think you can go wrong with the direction you are heading.
Regards,
Dan
