I'm not familiar with the Arundels, but Tannoys work well with a wide range of amplifiers. I'm using two polar opposites currently, a 9 Wpc SET 300B, and two Class D Audio CDA 254 amps bridged to mono, @500 Watts into 8 Ohms.

There are some very highly regarded pairings of Tannoy/Luxman, some Luxmans more so than others. I recommend you Google Hans Hilberink's Tannoy website, much information regarding this pairing can be found there.

Regards, and enjoy,
Dan

I think that would be a great pAiring! As dan said they work great with a wide variety. My current fave is an 845 amp.

With very efficient speakers you need something really clean or you may get some noise. For tubes, maybe a VAC Avatar, and for SS look at an Ayre CX-7 or a BAT 300ix. Whatever you decide to get, the preamp section of the integrated needs to be considered just as much as the amp section.
