Hello, I'm Asai. This time, I tried to listen to jazz by TANNOY. Please read my report.
This is a pair of Lancaster 315HPD. Is it good for jazz?
I prepared 2 CDs.
KARL SUSKE (avex-classics)
「The Great Jazz Trio/Collaboration」 (Eighty-Eight's)
At first I chose marantz CD-17Da and ALPINE/LUXMANs integrated amplifier. I listened to KARL SUSKE and The Great Jazz Trio/Collaboration. Both are not bad.
I think LUXs amps drive TANNOYs speakers well,especially 38FD is good. I listened to KARL SUSKE. Sound is good. But for jazz,It's not good.
Next,I listened to them by PIONNER Exclusive power amplifier M4 and YAMAHA MVS-1. M4 is 50W+50W.
I also listened to KARL SUSKE and The Great Jazz Trio/Collaboration. Both are really good.
I chose LUXMAN CL-35 for control amp. It mounts 12AU7 and 12AX7.
I played back KARL SUSKE. It's quick and powerful. I listened to The Great Jazz Trio/Collaboration. It's jazz! It's powerful and hot.
I think that if you listen to jazz by TANNNOY speakers, hybrid amp is good.
