Tenor Audio - Anyone hear them?

kevinkwann@aol.com: The Tenors are wonderful amplifiers, period. When you buy a manufacturer's equipment, you too have a relationship with that manufacturer. Does that make your opinions less valuable? I recommend equipment other than what I own or am affiliated with just as quickly and strongly as my own if I feel it is the best for the needs of the person asking.

By the way Kevin, what is your user name? You appear to be hiding behind an email address that is not associated with a user name and we certainly do not know your affiliations, if any.

Lexicon: Tenor Audio amplifiers are not discounted in any way what so ever. You obviously have received poor information.

I am an audiophile and own the best I can find for my personal system regardless of my affiliations. My involvement with Tenor, from a distribution point of view, came only after my experience with their amplifiers as a listener of music. I found the amps to be so far and away better than anything else I have heard, I bought them as an audiophile. Only after living with them, as an audiophile, did I decide I wanted to help bring them into the US.

My positive comment is one of many from those who have heard them. I have never heard anything different from anyone who is familiar with them other than "they are the best".

If you are in the market for the purest sound available and choose to see my comments as a "spin" and buy something else, that would be your loss. Ask MES, Hoosier, mikel and many others who feel as I do - these amps are closer to the music than anything any of us have heard. Everything else seems to sound like hifi in comparison.

out of curiosity, how much are these wonder amps?

.... about the price of loaded Toyota Camry.

the Tenor 75Wi monoblocks are $19900 list price per pair. that includes 3-rca inputs and one xlr input and a passive volume pot on each amp. you can switch from direct mode where the volume pot is bypassed or integrated mode where the volume pot is engaged.

the Tenor75W monoblocks eliminate the volume pots and are $1000 less....i think then you must choose between 1 rca and i xlr input, but i am not 100% positive on that. most people are going with the integrated model as so far it has outperformed any and all super-preamps.

details on www.tenoraudio.com.

trgi, the 75W is around $20,000 and the 15W is around $16,000 for the integrateds. A bit less if you don't want integrated.
Kevinkwan and Lexicon, Jtinn loves audio and when he finds something special such as the Tenor amps he likes to share with others. I know from personal experience that Jtinn is as honest a man as you are going to find. His knowledge is second to none as far as audio is concerned. If he is discounting, he never offered it to me. Thanks Jtinn for bringing these wonderful amps to our attention.
