Tannoy vs. ATC

Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
In the late 80's I was returning from a long overseas assignment and looking to re-enter the audio hobby. I visited a local dealer and heard a Krell 300 integrated with a Meridian CDP and Thiel CS1.5 (could have been 1.2's) speakers. I thought my ... 
the Soneeteer Alabaster or Sugden A21AL
I've owned the Sugden. It's a very sweet amp but with limited power. The Sonneteer Alabaster is a tripath amp. If it were me, I'd opt for the Sugden. Jim

ATC Monitors vs. Paradigm S8?
Swifty358, I don't know where you are but I have ATC 20-2A's. I live outside NYC. You might want to listen before you decide. Jim

Amplifier for Jordan JX92S Transmission Lines
Peter, There shouldn't be any unwanted hum unless the amp is poorly implemented. These amps are also called "gainclones". The 47 Labs gain card amplifier started the use of these chips thus "gainclone." I think you'll find them on ebay or audiogon...

Amplifier for Jordan JX92S Transmission Lines
There's quite a few audiophiles using LM3886 chip amps. Here's an example on Ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/Dynaco-Retro-LM3886-Chip-Amp-Gainclone-/110595364524?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item19bfff56ac#ht_2449wt_690Talk to Ronnie Thackery at Ca... 
Reliable Used int. amp for $1200? Plinius? Classe?
Naim is an answer for you. A Naim 5i or used Naim XS would fill the bill nicely. You need to listen to Naim at a dealer first, s the sound will be different from the CJ equipment. Jim
