    Oh. And the guy in Bell Street was Denys Trickett. I knew him well.

    Wow - a name from the past! Did various work for me and got a few bits from him as well. Was over here a few times helping me out setting things up. Always generous with his time. I think he must have passed on by now as he was quite elderly when I knew him (early 90s). There was a guy who worked with him (from the carribean?) - I wonder where he ended up.

    Nice find Don. What amp you gonna drive your new Tannoys with? If you up for it, lets have a Tannoy and amp back-off one day.

I've got an Art Audio Quintet waiting to be Triode up North...Croft 4s on the boil..and a Tannoy SR 840 on the back burner..(actually was speaking to the designer of the 840 this evening)....and a bucket load of Refurbed Lencos that are not moving at the mo...what weapons can you bring to the table Sire?

    If you ever get the opportunity, try one of these. Bloody remarkable sounding amp!

    On that note I can close this thread as I have picked up (today) a pair of Super Gold Monitors sgm 12x that don't need refoaming... so thank you for your offer Jeff but I'll decline on this occasion! If anyone has any background knowledge/experience on these.. I'd like to know... this discussion might have to be moved to another forum.....
    I'll keep an eye out for that post - interested to see what you got

    Woo. Lots of weapons you have Don. The Tannoy amp looks the biz.

    From my side we could shoot the Tannoy Eatons or Kudos with either the Radford STS25 or a Sugden Masterclass or one-off KT88 amp (triode or Pentode modes). Choice of Preamps. Currently the Radford is out on loan and the Sugden with Sugdens being upgraded. Sugden will be back soonish.

    We could have a riot.

    Geoff, I'm sure it's a blinder, but my school of thought is power power power...look at the power supply of my SR 840...(they actually demo'ed this amp driving a 110v drill from the speaker binding posts!) Tamed mosfet beast from the eighties!

    Sorry Frank, didn't acknowledge your post, but great to know there's a speaker pro in the Wirral...your services would probably be a darn sight cheaper than down south..!

    I've been down the 'overkill' huge MOSFET amp route. I actually find 25 watts of pure Class A works just fine with Tannoys. After all, the sensitivity is 93/94 db.

    I had this New Audio Concepts 'Legend' P300 power amp for years.

    I stand corrected, but since I had direction from my hifi Guru's over the last 15 years, the general consensus is that power is not a bad thing......
