SET for my Tannoy Turnberry speakers

Posted by Plinius_Fan (A) on October 10, 2014 at 04:14:32

Presently I am using a Wavac 300B which puts out superb 10 watts. Just that sometimes I feel the headroom could have been better. Dynamic compression sets in at least 40% of the time so I am now looking at other options.

Unison Research Performance is a KT88 SET with 40 watts of power output which is rather humongous for an SET. Has anyone heard it ? I dont see many user reviews about it. Any information would be helpful.

Other options I have are mostly in the push-pull territory:
Quad II forty
Jadis Defy 7 mk4
Pass Labs F6

Tannoys have always been a mystery to me. They sound wonderful with almost any good amplifier but to find an ideal one is not easy. Many prefer them with conventional SS amps also. Coming from a Wavac EC-300B, it is difficult to find an SS amp that can keep me happy. Probably the Pass F6 which I may try.

But at the moment I am looking at Unison Research Performance.
