ag3- Steve Guttenberg reviewed the Cheviots a few months back.
He used both his SIT3 and the XA25. The XA25 was the clear winner
he said. I think these Tannoys benefit from the extra power.
From what I hear the LTA is not as good. One Valvet E2SE owner
said he liked his Valvet over the XA25 but was trading up to the Mono blocks. I prefer a nearby factory and US build. Reselling unknown
brands often times means a haircut.
Bakoon is one I look for if another show ever happens.
I did try a Swedish no name integrated-Lejonklou. Now that
could be a 2nd amp someday for me. 40wpc Class a/b. So black
and pure and uncolored. Maybe more so than I prefer.
