Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies

Mikelavigne, I agree, the name Kronzilla is silly at the first look, but what else can you name your products if your last name is Dr. Kron and you design the biggest, baddest audio tubes in the world? I have not yet seen a Kronzilla tube in real life, but I was told it is monstrously tall. So Gonzilla-Kronzilla, its not toooo far fetched.
I know that the Prodigy is not a good match for the Tenor at all and the guy in Germany has auditioned the Tenors on different speakers (if I am not mistaken on a new desgin called the Ascendo, www.ascendo.de)
But you are right, there will always be something better eventually. I was only intrigued by the idea of Bohemian artisan glass blowers and 120 man hours to build one tube.
So for me, it is more a piece of art and once Dr. Kron, who is not a young man anymore, will die, his designs might die with him.
My brother, whom I help to build a system, might indeed buy the Ascendo speakers with a apir of DoubleKronzilla
(he opted for Tenor and Piega at first, but he now could get an good deal on the Kronzilla and since the Ascendo are very OTL and SET friendly speakers, 8 Ohm, between 6 and 10 Ohm impedance swings and 91dB sensitivity, it would be a good match to test the Tenors.
The problem is only what to do with the pair of amps, which looses the audition. It is kind of tough to sell these kind of amps on the used market.
Anyway, I just bought two Wolcott amps for my Prodigy. That made a huge improvement. Especially the soundstage and transperency has greatly improved now.
So now I have time to look into analogue stuff, since my system is now at a point, where I would benefit from a nice turntable.

Tekunda, art is art, and sound is sound. make sure if you spend big bucks for amps (even with a great discount), that you get solidly engineered amps (which the Krons may well be).

i have done "biggest and baddest" before, i had the Mark Levinson #33 monoblocks, 365 pounds each of muscle. the 33s literally dwarf any other amp. while i have nothing bad to say about them, i have heard 5 amps in my room since then that i preferred to them. none of those amps had the visual majesty and "wow" factor of the #33s, but i can say i won't ever own the #33s again.

your Wolcotts are an excellent choice for your Prodigys.

i think your intention to get a vinyl setup is great, go for it!!

Mikelavigne, you are absolutely right, art is art and sound is sound, but wouldn't it be wondeful, if you could combine both?
If you had the choice of two equal performing amps, wouldn't you go for the visually more appealing?
And by saying biggest, baddest, I did not mean that I need muscle amps, the Knrozilly "only" have 80 watt, which is still a lot for a SET amp.
But with biggest, baddest I strictly meant the size of the tubes. These tubes are really stunning looking monsters and will visually impress anybody and if the sound is also very impressive, it would make the Kronzilla a very good amp indeed. But do not worry, I have not taken on a dealership for the Kronzilla amps now, my cables are giving me enough trouble already (-: ) Just kidding of course.
