I'm far from an expert, but I can tell you not all "watts" are created equal. Secondly, a receiver is a compromise. (As one salesperson I talked w/ a very long ago called them "toasters".) You're not going to the best out or know what your Tannoy's are really capable of w/ a rec. I hope you don't end up on the Audiophile merry-go-around. But an amp will lead to other things...
"New" Tannoy System 12s
I just bought a used pair of System 12 Mk. 1s.
I have 3 burning questions:
1. Does anyone know where I could find a manual?
2. Also, apparently I need help in how to bi-wire these guys.
3. My amp (really a surround sound receiver) is rated at 110 watts RMS/channel. Some folks have told me that I will not enjoy a balanced frequency response until I invest in a more powerful amp (250-400 watt). Their contention is that my puny amp will have issues moving that big heavy magnet, and the low end will suffer as a result. Any thoughts on this theory?
Thanks (in advance) for all comments!!
