Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there?

Well the mark levinson did not work out I ended up buying a krell 400 integrated amp .

First, I love these speakers -- very fast and image like mini-monitors - the benefits of running with no crossovers. You can buy them for a steal now -- I'm not sure why other than to make way for new lines? Anyhow, in my opinion, the Tanto V2's sound much better with tubes than solid state. I ran them with a Pass X250.5 and a BAT VK55se and the latter is a magical combination. With a high sensitivity and good resistance, they were almost designed for tubes.

V1 here, very happy with Audio Horizons pre & ARC 100.2

Glad to here some more feedback. So far I am very happy with the krell 400 and the tantos but I will wait a little to give a more detailed review of the sound. A question for anyone passing through. I have a lot of music stored on an external hard drive that I use to play through my receiver preouts and then connected to the krell. I would have receiver on pure audio so as to try to give the krell the purist signal possible. But I sold that receiver. Now I have a ps3 which I can also use but it does not play flac files. So now I know I could either buy another receiver or a cd player with USB input or is there a better way to go. Of Ian going to play digital I feel I need to have flac. So any advice would be appreciated.

A USB DAC would be a good addition for playing your computer files ... MANY options available these days. You can spend a little or a lot! May want a DAC that has more than just USB inputs if you have an older CD player and wish to use the DAC for that as well (assuming the player has digital outputs - not sure if a ps3 does)

Also, as a side note, if you live near anyone with a tube amp, give that a try with the Tantos. TUBES plus TANTOS = great music :)
