Dude TRL vs Red Wine Isabella vs Dodd

Speakers? Amp?

Lokie.Yes.Tannoy Canterbury and still searching for an amp ,perhaps Red wine monos,Smason TRL monos or Almarro monos.

You should pick the amp first. Any of these amps would work well with the Tannoy's so it just comes down to personal taste and the type of music you like, room size, desired sonic flavors, etc.

Having said that, I'm a big TRL fan and the used Dodd pre is a great value. Not familiar with Red Wine. The Almarro's might work but not sure about how much grunt these amps put out especially if the Cantebury's have the 15" drivers.

I have 15" Tannoys and you need an amp with some torque (big, good transformers) if you are going to go low watt. Any of these pre amps would be good but the trick is to get the right amp.

I have heard Almarro and they were great with my Tannoys.What do you think about Samson mono's?I was thinking to purchase them without hearing based on high reviews from 2 Audiogon members.Do you think I could go wrong for $2800 for used?

At $2800 used the Samson's are a steal. Pair it with a Dude if you can. Otherwise the Dodd suggestion is a good one based on price to performance.
