I am a Tannoy fan. I have a pair of Churchill’s with super tweeters. They are my forever speakers. The real deal.

baldachin, keep it sweet & simple. Conceptually I am not a fan of multi-driver speakers, although a speaker with a 104 sensitivity majorly peaked my interest. I did a quick search for the Tekton V18 & came up with nada...... so??? Wyetech Laboratories has built some of the finest Hi-Fi ever made, with the 572M amps coming to mind, the 18 watt Saphires I've only heard of. But I can tell you one thing, you'll never drive a pair of Nova Utopia's satisfactorly with them. I run a Classe' DR9 with a pair of 946 Focal Electra's (93dB 8Ω) in a 13'x26' room, similar efficiencies to the Nova's. That said, an even more robust amp to get more attack from the drivers, like a full on Class A Krell, or a Threshold, wouldn't be a bad idea. The Saphires won't due with the Focal set-up. With the dimentions of your listening room and that sweet sounding Wyetech, have you considered a pair of Klipshorns? 103db! The Tannoy KensingtonGR's are a step in the right direction, 93 dB/Watt sensitivity, same as the Focal's. But what about the Canterbury's? 96 dB Sensitivity! Better yet the Westminster's, 99db! Wyetech & Westminster's, that's audio royalty. |
