RE: SET for my Tannoy Turnberry speakers

Hi there, my 2c worth.
Agree Tannoy vintage 8 ohm & Prestige range dual concentric speakers need a amp with good damping factor. Typically a 8W 300B SE amp is left wanting. I have 2 amps which I use with 15" Tannoy HPD series 8 ohm drivers in 250L bass reflex enclosures. A EML 520B single ended amp this has a plate resistance half that of a 300B which provides 25% better damping factor & a PSE 6L6 amp which has 20db of global feedback. Both amps drive the Tannoys wonderfully in room size (8m x 6m)
If I was doubling the room size to (16m x 12m) I would be looking at a amp double the power rating (40W)

Cheers Johno
