I've been considering changing to the Hansen Prince, but am concerned that my amps - Shindo Sinhonia - which are rated at 40 watts, may not have sufficient power for these speakers which are rated at only 87db. Does anyone have experience with these Hansens and tubed amplification of comparable power? thanks.
Cmalak & Charles1dad, i will give you an update on what i finally decide. Charles, I too had a look at your set-up, and it does look very sharp - especially those Speakers! cheers for now.
It happens to know very well the Hansen Prince V2 since I own them and the Knight as well.
I suggest that you test the Shindos in your dealer's Knights.
Knights are more demanding than Prince V2.
I've heard Princes with Viva Solista mk2 with 24 single-ended watts and the match was fantastic, but needed a bit more power for loud passages in orchestras.
Anyway try with the Knights and if you like it I reassure you that with Princes it will be easier.
