I am interested in to have a listen to a Western acoustics Topaz Kt120 before buying. I am wondering if there are any of Erle's customers kind enough for me to have an audition in Perth. My speakers are Spendor 2/3 classics. Thank you

I agree I need to listen. I have a small room so volume won't be so loud.

Thanks for the advice. As mentioned in the review the impedance can go as high as 15 ohms, what size valve amp will I need to be looking at. I have notice most of them are less than 40W into 8 ohms. Does it mean I need a higher powered amp? Ie more than 50W?because in theory I am looking for something close to 80W?

Thank you. But I thought these are above $10k new and preloved might still be above my budget.

Irek, All I know at the moment is an integrated amp but would be nice if I can get a valve amp but I prefer to get a better quality solid state amp rather than an "so so" valve. I do not have any preference in colour as I prefer to concentrate on the sound rather than looks...:)

Hi, I recently purchased a Spendor 2/3 classc speakers and now doing research on replacing the amplifier. I play a big range of music from classical to pop/rock depending on mood. I am overwhelmed by the large range of options available and is wondering if the knowledge from this group could help me narrow my search. My budget is about $3000 to $4000 and wondering if this knowledgeable group can help point me to what brand or type of amps I should be looking for.

Will do. Thank you for the advise.

Hi, Been interested in sound for a lot of years but work and family commitments means I have not followed through on this for decades. With more time now and funds I am now replacing the first system I bought as a 19yo and looking to learn from this group. Regards Jerry
