Tannoy owners

I based my current speakers on HPD 315's, purchased on Ebay UK. Cabinets were built to my specifications, and are 150 liter bass reflex, using an inner layer of 3/4" MDF laminated to an outer layer of 1 1/8" MDF, adding up 192 lbs. each.

The woofers were converted to "hard edge" surrounds, with custom designed and built crossovers. I use two very different amps, a Class D, using two modules bridged to mono, for 500 Wpc. My other amp is a very fine-sounding SET 300B that does an excellent job of driving the HPD's, even in my large listening room.

For analog, a DIY restored Garrard in a custom built (also DIY) plinth, using a Dynavector 501 arm, Zu Denon 102R cartridge, and Modwright SWP 9.0 phono stage. It all gives me great enjoyment for the long run.

I have 15" Golds in Altec 614 cabinets is a second system,actually prefer the 12s because of better bass control.Im running them with a tube integrated.Not my favorite sound to be honest.I prefer a quickier,faster ,more detailed presentation but I will say I like the Tannoys much better than the Altec 604s they replaced.

Looks like you are already getting a better presentation response in your posted thread on PINKFISHMEDIA AUDIO forum

the capacity of easy-peezy posting pics on that forum is a step-up.

Hope you get your answers.

Thanks guys, good feedback. 

Great thread. I have vintage hpd 315 drivers put in newly made cheviot cabinets made of birch. Great sound. I have a red wine 15 watt tube hybrid as a backup amp and the Hegel h 200 as primary. I stream on a bluesound using Deezer hd.

Love the sound of the hpds. 

My upgrade path path would be getting a full tube amp like a 300 b and move the Hegel to a second system with planars. But very happy with the modern Hegel - vintage tannoy match, its fantastic.
