Description

Goal: Let the musical event be reproduced in the most detailed but involving manner. It must move me, not just recover detail for detail sake.

Next upgrades: room acoustics; I am also currently evaluating the Coincident Mk2 Frankenstein monoblocks.

This is a vinyl-centric system centered on the Coincident Phono stage and the Nantais/Lenco/Allnic combo.

Hello Divo, and Charles, to answer your question, I can power my Tannoy HPD 315's (12" Dual Concentric ca 1975, updated to current Prestige cones and surrounds) with as little as 10Wpc, to good effect. With a large VAC EL 34 35Wpc push pull amp, they have all the dynamic properties I need, with very little difference from a Plinius SA 100 MKIII in class A.

Divo, your system is one to admire, one that would be wonderful to hear, and fortunately for you, every day has to be a great listening experience. Congratulations!

Regards,
Dan
