Manley stingray and tannoy

Hi all I have a pair of tannoy revolution signature dc 6 standmount speakers that I would love to try with a Manley stingray, any thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated. The speakers are 8ohms and 88 dB my room is 7 metres by 4 metres ceiling height of 2.9 metres with wooden floorboards. I don't listen at overly loud volumes but have been known on the odd occasion to crank it up a little. Thankyou

I used a Stingray to run a pair of 85db 4ohm towers in a 5 x 6 meter room with no trouble, you'll be fine.

FYI, Mullard CV4024's sound wonderful in that unit.

Stingrays are robust amps, I ran Maggie 1.6s with one and it worked pretty good so 88db and 8 OHMs would be a cakewalk I imagine...

Philjolet, Was your Stingray an early one? I understand the power has been reduced on the later models due to different transformers.

I ran SMGa Maggies with original Quad tube monos with 15 watts. I did not try them with large scale music, but the midrange on simple music was oh so nice.
