    I completely agree amazing amp if we're on about the same one.

    Heard the Royale with other gear and not impressed. But in a large room with those Thrax amps absolutely amazeballs. For me at any rate.

    Now if they had enough power I'd do a lot to get me some somehow at least for a home dem. The 70 Watt Spartacus is the one I am on about.

    ah yes , i know the spartacus . the enyo is what is here . incredible power in this thing . actually it was way too much for the harbeth shl5plus . excited a dreadful bass mode in the room and i thought they would take off !! but wilth the tannoy eatons it was special . firebottle and a few others were round to hear the combo recently

    https://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/...d-amps.212436/

    actually its really growing on me now although it is going back to the dealer soon . if it had a uk service agent it would probably be staying but i can`t face a precious valve amp going back to another country with a courier

    How many WPC is it? Interesting looking product but the website and brochure fail to state power output.

    yes .. not exactly forthcoming with info . it also says its 12kg in weigth and thats a joke because iwould like to try it with the harbs in the loft but its too big and heavy to get up there !!! its a very powerful piece of kit . paul benge is dealer and he has lent it too me . i am sure he would let you know but i will ask

    you are of course most welcome to hear it while its here

    kingdoms are not the typical tannoys, quite obviously made and voiced for different crowd. i disliked them on a casual listening with macintosh solid state amps, not much fun there
