    Cheers Geoff


    I have found the Quantum has an incredible amount power to drive the Dovedale III's so much so i have had to use a CD player with variable output sounding excellent with a Yamaha CDX 860 CD player . Basic Cables , i may have just found my ultimate match to these bastard of a speaker to drive...

    NAD 1030 Pre Amplifier & Sony SA H7900 Active Speakers a very odd combo but works surprisingly well this the nad pre dates from after the 3020 so about 1984 not sure anyway working very well and warming up the sony's as they have been sat a good while sound really nice with the stat tweeters and the thunderous motion active woofers just playing some massive attack and yikes i'm thinking do i really need 25 other pairs of speakers i think i done well for £17 all in for these too LOL....

    Sorry to hear that, Dan - have you finally run out of space?!

    Also, don’t forget I’m pretty sure you said I could have first dibs on the Sony speakers!

    This Little Arcam Alpha 5 has landed - working very well

    Fast & Clean sound on a cheap pair of test speakers "Tannoy CPA5's" look forward to trying other speakers with it but promising results so far

    Made between 1995 - 1998 rave reviews on the web...

    Happy Listening

    Dan,

    I've just struck a deal on a few items of hi-fi and one of the components is the matching analogue tuner for this amp (TX-130L). I have no use for it, so, once I collect it all, it's yours for the cost of postage if you'd like it?

    No worries!

    The haul was the Pioneer tuner, a mid 90s Sony cassette deck, a fairly basic Kenwood A/V amplifier and.....the bit I wanted....a Yamaha CR-700 receiver.
