Again +1 my 15MG's were transformed when I got my XO sorted by Paul @ RFC and TBH I dont feel my MG's are firing on all cylinders as I still have them sitting in Lancaster cabs. This is something I will be addressing in the new year.
Has anyone else tried Croft Preamp and Radford power amp? I think this combo works better than Radford pre and power (only IMHO). This combo seems to give the most lifelike and laid back presentation of John Coltrane than I ever heard. Fantastic if you've had a bad day.
I was using the same combo for a couple of Years, Very very good, Lots of Synergy going on.
If you get the chance Try a Benchmark DAC 1 HDR as a Pre into your Radford, it cleared up many of the Problems Id Blamed on my York Cabs, also Try Abbey Road Reference Speaker Cables, they work great with the Tannoys
