Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
Hi all!
Going to be picking up a pair of Tannoy Turnberry speakers in the near future, and was looking at some various options for integrated amplifiers. There are a couple on my radar and was wondering if anyone who owns the speakers has any insight.
1. Primaluna EVO 300 or 400 - torn on whether the extra $ warrants going for the 400 over the 300. I had a Primaluna + Tannoy pairing some years ago and loved it, so immediately thought of this one.
2. NAT audio single HPS v2 - this is at the very top end of what I could consider budget wise. I have heard this amp, but not with the tannoys. It sounds incredible to me, but I'm not sure if it would play nice with the Turnberry speakers and don't have the ability to test one at home.
From what I've hard of the NAT, I'm thinking it may be the better option, but maybe there is a better solid state in the price range I'm looking at. Ideally, I'd like to stay in the 5-6k range, but willing to stretch a little bit more for something I will be happy with for the forseeable future.
Thanks for any insight.
@lalitk I just heard the Wolf Von Langa's at CAF you're in for a treat I heard Canterbury's at that same show to me a not great pairing with ARC gear. But was happy to hear a Tannoy Reference speaker finally! The WVL's were paired with the amazing sounding Tron 300B integrated. To the OP if you don't end up going with the NAT amp the 6L6/KT66 is a very good one and some very good amps out there using those tubes. |

Tannoy DCs sound best with amplifiers with medium output impedance /damping factor.That generally means push pull valve amps of more than 15 watts. There is also a few SS amps that will suit them-Bakoon,Dartzeel NHB 108 and Sugden A21 as they have medium output impedance.Nearly all SS and Class D amps have low output impedance.
