Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR

I just purchased a pair of beautiful Tannoy Turnberry GR speakers and now I need to purchase an amplifier for them. I would really love to try a SET amp but definitely want to stick with a tube amp(s). I have a line on some Wyetech amps - a pair of Wyetech Onyx rated at 13 watts and a Wyetech Topaz 211 rated at 18 watts. The Onyx mono blocks are available for around $2000 while the Topaz is going for $6000 - the Topaz is at the very top of my budget.

How would these amps do with the Turnberrys? What are other Turnberry owners using?

Thanks Pani. I will check out the Naim Nait 5i. I have also been looking at McIntosh amps. It seems like they are a good match with Tannoys. I have read several positive comments from Tannoy users who are using McIntosh solid state and tube amps.

Mcintosh is okay but they sound slow to my ears.

I am using Manley Neo250 on my Tannoy Kensington GR. Very very satisfied, no plans of replacing it ever.

S1nn3r - Those are some nice looking amps. Have you tried other Manleys with your Kensingtons?

Mmarshall,

I just got my Manley Neo-Classic 300B preamp and 2 Chinook for my MM and MC cartridge. Will put them together as soon as I'm able.
