They are very good Alan. I haven't heard them with my Voyagers yet but the intergrated amp i am using with them sounds great. You are as always welcome to come and have a listen. Be good to catch up fella Mr B called by and heard them and i think he was smitten. I am really looking forwards to hearing them at NEBO 11 with a valve amp. They are a true monitor in that the listener can hear right into a recording.
Sounds right up my street Steve
Yes I see they are 96.5dB efficiency so I think they would be ideal with a Valve amp
As it happens I am thinking about building a Nelson Pass F5 Turbo 50W version .

Paul and me will be there Steve, i'll bring the auld Rega planar plus a phono stage or 2, i may bring the new amp i'm thinking on buying too, i'm trying to persuade Paul to bring his valve amps too
As the late Colonel Sanders once said
"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken!!"
Time is drawing near fellow Neboites. Can people attending please confirm what they are bringing. Many thanks good people.
The Turntable, a couple of phono stages, and probably the new amp i'm currently drooling over
