They move a lot of air and do BIG impressively and are quite easy to drive.
But that horn-loaded tweeter kills 'em for me and/or going straight from a big woofer to a small tweeter is simply asking too much - I just hear unacceptable hashy colourations in the upper mids / lower treble.

Some folks don't hear that.
Some folks hear it and aren't bothered.
Some folks hear it and run screaming from the room.

Have you had a listen?

But yep, I am sure your PL amp will be fine. I've driven 10 inch DC Tannoys from a 8wpc Mini-T t-amp and it sounded as good as I've ever heard Tannoys sound. They were OK for a few hours (at Scalford) then they started to drive me crazy!

But then, I wouldn't recommend Triangles either!

It takes all sorts to make a world, don't it.
I've got Turnberry se's, and would generally agree with what Jerry has said, but the colouration can be tuned out with quality amplification (valve), and by pointing the speakers down the room, not toed in as Tannoy suggest. On the plus side, they have superb imaging, and a beautiful bass quality that does not boom, even when placed close to room boundaries. You really need to listen to some, preferably in your own room/system. Some have said that they could not hear the colouration on the Turnberry's, but after having Kef ref 2.2's, which are silky smooth, i could hear it, but it can be sorted. I can now listen to mine all day, and i love em!
