Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II


The Tannoy monitor DMT 215 needs 150 wpc to 500 wpc to drive it. I only have a Music Reference RM9 which is only 100 wpc. Will it ok to drive this monitor without causing amplifier clipping? Please advice! Thanks

Kinhoang, your room size is large enough for the Tannoys to breathe. If you don't already own the Cary 2A3, you might think about the Wavelength Audio 2A3 monoblocks that are (or recently were) for sale here. I don't know the seller, and I haven't heard the Wavelength 2A3. But my experience with 300B SETs leads to guess that the Wavelength 2A3 sounds less colored than the Cary, i.e., more linear (flat) frequency response.

To repeat: I'm not recommending the seller -- be careful as usual -- but I'm recommending the designer, Gordon Rankin.
@ Charles1dad, I will let you know how the Cary 2a3 sound. Currently I am still listening and trying different set up with the RM9 for all the ohms tabs. Cary 2a3 only put out 5 wpc so I hope it will be good and okay. It sound really good with the Klipsch Horn annd the Quad 57 though.
@Jburidan, the room size is ok for this and only play low volume so it is just right. I already had the Cary so will not looking to buy another one yet. After try the RM9 I will have more confidence to drive this with Cary 2A3. I just bought the Audio Research D70 in pristine condition here locally. I may want to try with that AR D70 too soon. I always like Audio Research but only can afford up to this 70 yet.
Thanks all!
Charles1dad, I haven't try the Cary SE yet because still wait for the tube NOS Cunningham 2a3 to be arrived. But meanwhile I am trying it with the Audio Research D70. The result is really good. I have to say that it is even better than my RM9. More soundstage, harmonic and base response is better. The hum is only scale at 3 from 1 to 10 compare with RM9. I think Jburidan was so right about checking my noisy tubes. I need a new NOS set of tube for it.
Will get back on the test with Cary when I have the tubes in the mail.
Thanks !
