Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Tannoy CPA 15 - who knows them ?

" With Tannoy DCs any room large enough to fit them in will be fine.
Being co-axials listening distance is not an issue as they don't need a minimum distance for the drivers to merge. "

Hi and thanks a lot for the reply
Perfect also for a quasi-near field listening like my presenti situation
Actually I had this feeling but now i am more confident

" They are easy to drive and efficient but nevertheless they only really give their best when paired with a high-current capable SS amp. With a small(ish) tube amp they will merely hint at what they are capable of "

The speakers are about 800 USD ... it seems to me a reasonable price
They look ok.
Main problem as usual is that is almost impossible to try an amp without buying it here.
For me the midrange quality is decisive
For this reason i was thinking to tubes but i understand that only very good and solid ones (and expensive i guess) can be used with satisfaction.
I will look to a robust and musical solid state integrated (or hybrid maybe) in case i buy them.
Thanks again.
















Kind regards,
