    my denon POA 2400 power amp.
    never got the brute to sing due to its typical jap delivery, a bit cold and matter of fact.
    maybe I never drove it hard enough to even get the case warm...200wpc into 8 ohm, 400 into 4 and about 700 into 2!!!

    finally sold to a forum member but I do miss the brooding kit presence....and scaring the kids with the wick up.

    The LS7's were fine but a bit loose in the bass - a left-over from their distant 'BBC style' heritage. Hope their replacement will take the bass to higher realms without messing up the nice midrange you've been used to

    Umm Ok. Not my favourite Tannoy range I'm afraid. Just get some bloody DC2000 or DC3000's from around this time. Proper naughty speakers these without going to the cachet laden paper cone models

    The sixes series were quite well liked Dan. not tried them myself though. Initially I thought mine to be part of the same series but they arent apparently and are really renumbered uk versions of the definition series that were done in walnut.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I don't like these much Dave. The base DC1000 model images better, but the 6 series are less coloured and offer better mid depth.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    AAARRGGHHH !!!

    More bloody Tannoys?
    What is wrong with this forum?



    Enjoy them.

    Anyway, what was this thread actually supposed to be about?
    Ah, yes --- "So this thread is about about stuff that's gone but you miss anyway "
    (Note tided up syntax and grammar )

    Hmm. Not much really. My motto is "onwards, ever onwards".
