Audio Note Push Pull and Tannoys

[martian sunrise]

do tannoys respond differently to ss single ended amps, when compared to SE valve amps?

[Light Dependant Resistor]

Yes, valve amps are better with high impedance speakers typically over 10 ohms, whereas solid state have better overall specifications,
and suit speakers 10 ohms or less, if we draw a line in the sand at 10 ohms http://education.lenardaudio.com/en/...ve_amps_7.html

Presently almost every amplifier is specified into a resistance load - not a loudspeaker. Current drive is the direction needed in amplifiers
to then match to loudspeakers. https://www.current-drive.info/

I used to drive a pair of Tannoy Legacy Ardens with my Allnic T1500 mk2, rated at approximately 13w/channel, this one is designed for 4 or 8 ohm with a switch to select which. It used to drive them very well with little problem and loads of grunt.
