Including Nagra, Cary, Mcintosh, KR Audio, Manley, EAR etc. Decided to get of the merry go round and have been using an Accuphase E-450 for the past 10 years. I also use 2x18" active subs and Tannoy super tweeters. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about getting a pair of st100's at some stage to see if they add that extra "air" to the sound but at times i don't feel there needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm particularly enjoying jazz with these speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome @rob and @agentorangethanks for the two beautiful specimens presented. What amplifiers are you using to drive these speakers? Hi Willmax , Current amplification is a Supratek Cabernet pre which is keeping a watchful eye on a couple of SST's Ampzilla mono-blocks. There is a Sansui and Modwright kicking around also but the former seems to be the holy grail [sunday church gag]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it comes down to personal preferences. For me they slightly change the overall tonal balance from warm and full to slightly more clean, clear and crisp. There is a noticeable increase to "air" and surprisingly a significant improvement with bass. Kick drums, slap and pluck of bass strings etc have more "SNAP" to their leading edge. Making the music sound more realistic and closer to what I hear live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not have thought you'd need the subs with the Westminster but at the same time they should round out the bass nicely in your room, do they?
