New amp for my 2.3's

No, the Tannoy is significantly higher.
Sorry, I got side tracked by Monk's nonsense. That's interesting to say the least, I was betting the other way around. I'm not seeing anything special about the Tannoy. I'd say the seller is trying to ride the coat tails of the name they made for themselves with their speakers.Political Correctness'.........defined

Here's a suggestion for you. When you have 3 guys in a thread stating that you are the problem, you should take that to heart and the next time consider that fact before hitting the keyboard. Let me say it again, you are the problem.
All one has to do is look at the source(s). More signal less noise boys. The only thing looking Pro-Audio is the Tannoy. It's from around 1984, it's most likely from their pro-audio side of things and a A/B class amp. Nothing special about it and if paying more than $300 the OP is getting ripped off.
Honestly the Adcom 5500 is probably worth $350 (I've seen the 5503 in pristine shape sell for $350-400) and the Tannoy about half that.
Your notion of a suggested alternate given the OP's likely budget is just pretentious whining. -

Taste is subjective, I know that. A good friend of mine, who's opinion I respectable great deal has demo'd both amps and said "The Tannoy is what the Adcom dreams to be."
But, like I said, it's all about synergy. And he is running a pair of Amazing Silvers which are a lot different from my SDA's. I do believe in he Tannoy has been recapped as well. But, for the price of the Tannoy, I could buy 2 5500,s.

$600-800? Way too much. If that is your budget there is plenty of Parasound, Adcom, Rotel, etc for that. -
While I like adcom and have owned a few of their amps, I find them a bit hot on the high end. I imagine the Tannoy is a bit smoother on top but, I would think the adcom has better bass control vs the tannoy just from the age and design. I could be wrong though since i havent heard the tannoy.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's.

It's YOU'RE as in YOU ARE.
Sorry, it's your composition that is terrible. You should have composed your response as follows;
"All one has to do is look at the source(s). More signal less noise boys.

By separating your comments with a new paragragh instead of running them into each other you could have conveyed that your first sentence was a different topic. It's basic English 101, junior and YOU'RE still the problem.
BTW, there's nothing pro audio looking about the Tannoy amp. Your lack of experience is showing again.Political Correctness'.........defined

I'll go with the slight grammatical error. That can be fixed. While your inability to actually read and comprehend is fortunately on public display.
The fact that you guys are encouraging a ~30 year old or slightly younger amp at most likely $600-800 tells everyone here what they need to know. -

I agree with Habanero on this one. I would opt for a Parasound or Rotel for that $.
You would figure at least one of the four Amigo's would have pointed that out first thing. I mean they are the brain trust around here :rolleyes: -

More deflection. Why is it so hard for you to admit you are the problem and seemingly can't be fixed.The fact that you guys are encouraging a ~30 year old or slightly younger amp at most likely $600-800 tells everyone here what they need to know.
Wow, talk about reading comprehension problems, you take the cake. Where did I suggest (since you grouped everyone together) to the OP that he buy the Tannoy? Oh that's right, I didn't.

For the record, the link above was a simple single content type search using the keywords Crown and Yamaha and the user name Habanero Monk. The returns are a disturbingly large portion of his posts that interject these unsolicited options into threads over and over.
And calling people liars for calling him out on it...the forum equivalent of, "Nana nana boo boo, stick your head in doo doo." Habanero Monk...keepin' it classy!
You claimed I am 'touting' Yamaha, Crown, whatever. I asked you to back that up. You haven't. I don't remember if it's considered slander or libel :rolleyes: -
I can't follow this thread....ah...the bozo list explains this....
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music. -
It's neither when it is true. Your legal knowledge is only rivaled by your audio knowledge. It isn't my fault that you are wrong.
Technically, most if what you have posted in this thread against other members could be considered both.
You still haven't backed up your original claim. More walk and less talk if you please. I Googled 'ZLTFUL + Ducati'. I can see how their ban on you is permanent. They seem a bit more lenient here when it came to your most recent. -
Again, neither if it is true.
Here you tout both your Yamaha and the Crown:

You have got to be kidding me. The only thing I directly said subjectively is that I 'like' my Yamaha. The fan not coming on or being quiet is simply a statement of fact.Pretty sure a whole thread dedicated to the topic could be considered "touting":
http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?147624-Pro-Audio-Amps-that-have-worked-for-you-(when-budget-is-and-used-aren-t-options)&highlight=yamaha
LOL: I said:
quiet and more than suitable in room if you want and the aesthetic, while not beautiful, isn't garish either IMO.
I run a Behringer EPX 2000 for my sub. It does a stellar job. It does. There are a good amount of people driving subs with Behringer with good results. It is a thread on specific pro-audio amps that have worked well. A resource of sorts. And why would you have a problem with that? I understand you are insecure and all that...
The Yamaha isn't even that good looking according to my post.Hey look...another example:
http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?148270-pro-power-amp-on-a-HT&highlight=yamaha
That is about the most effusive I get about the Yamaha. It's clean, it's quiet, good sound stage. It's also a response to someone asking about the Yamaha amp. I even said in thread If they don't work out just return the unit and get your money back I'm actually saying that a particular amp may not be for them.You even managed to drag an Emotiva thread down...and that is saying a LOT:
http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?148717-Why-not-Emotiva&highlight=yamaha
Zero touting in that thread. I do remember your rather odd claim that Emotiva was out there manipulating (hacking or paying off) other web sites to scrub any negative reviews.I can do this all day long:

I use a Yamaha P2500S. It can be obtained for around $400 and I had zero risk in evaluating it since GC has a 30 day return policy. It replaced my Marantz Mono-blocks. Really allowed the Lsi 9's to open upSo, would you care to retract your libelous statements where you called F1nut and I liars? Because the evidence above shows quite the contrary.
No. You're still purposefully misrepresenting. And doing a pretty poor job of it. Touting would be saying it's the end all be all, that it's a giant killer, that it competes with stuff costing 10-20X it's costs. Me I'm saying try it out. It worked for me and most certainly use a place with an easy return policy because it may not be your cup of tea.
That's easily readable in the links you provided. It's a balanced statement from me knowing that it's budget oriented solution. -
