I have never experienced anything better than GRF Tannoys driven by Marantz 8's. I am sure that there is a better system out there, but I can't afford it.
Until recently my speakers were Cornwall 2's (the pick of the litter) driven by either a magnavox flea-powered tube amp or Sony STR V4 receiver, the last to use discrete components rather than ICs and op-amps.Am breaking in a pair of 4Pi speakers ow. Regret selling my Fisher 500. I am still listening to 15 inch Tannoys in Montreal, driven by, of all things, a TACT amp. My boutique dealer has unfriended me on facebook.
