Thank you for sharing. Yes - there is a a post there from Tannoy (supposedly) which states they are made in China. I think that is the same thread that I posted the screenshot from post #10 above. I had posted a pic of that the other day...

BINGO I won't even get into the possible legal issues this raises IF TRUE.

Exactly. To advertise and say they are made in Scotland when you KNOW they are not, is completely dishonest. Now, if they were lying to the distributor too, then that’s another story, but I doubt it. Pretty easy to tell where they are...

LOL. What a moron.

Bozo.

Hi Steve - if you think this is simply about a product possibly made in China, you are missing the entire point. "Physics works the same way everywhere." - Respectfully, not every conversation has to do with physics.

Interesting....

From What Hi-Fi Magazine: "The news that Tannoy’s parent company, Music Group, plans to close the company’s factory in Coatbridge, Scotland, and move production to a new facility in Zhongshan, China, is the latest blow to hi-fi manufacturing in...

That exactly describes my experiences with him.

The 1160 is a great amp. The 2160 is truly a league above and more in line with the Block. The Constellation lineup is also great. The 1160 is a little more laid back then the 2160 and a lot more laid back then say Block or Soulution. I won’t...

It's amazing how much a distributor can make or break the success of a product with dealers. A good distributor is invaluable for both dealers and customers.

He’s a great resource for dealers. Glad he’s staying on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

For sure. Am simply asking for transparency on the claims made by Tannoy and the distributors. BBC and other news outlets reported on the closing of the factory. I'm simply enquiring. I would think if a product is in fact still...

Thank Mike. VERY interesting that although others "in the know" have reached out, not a single one has yet to answer the very simple, basic question. I also uncovered that the biggest Tannoy dealer in the US has on his web site "Skillfully...

VAC makes awesome stuff. I'd be real hard pressed to purchase anything ARC with the recent company and tube availability issues they are suffering from.

I just watched the video. Very interesting. But the video comments from former VP’s at Tannoy and new distributor are very revealing. I guess KD is no longer the distributor if I’m reading this correct? No love lost for me with him I’ll...

Master 300 for sure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Me. Not a good match. VAC is a way better match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for watching. I agree it would be very interesting to know after all these years why Tannoy decided to move. Especially to WHOM they did - that is a massive shocker. That really has people "in the know" whispering.

That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

I vote new Reference.

New Reference! Give me a call. Remember, the trade in of the Premier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.” When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound? ...

Correct. I have their drive for my 180B to rip. I did testing comparing the drive to an Apple drive and the Rose unit sounded better. I was surprised as I thought they'd sound the same. They don't.

I used the Samsung drives.

It will be handled here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I'm not a Roon guy, but as an outsider looking in I would think it would benefit Roon. But it's anyones guess as to whether this will be a positive or negative change. I wonder if this is a move towards consolidation after MQA was bought?

Got it. Thanks for explaining.

What don't you like about it?

Although I have a headphone amp I really like and 'OK' Focal headphones, I've never really been able to get into headphone listening.

Beautiful cars! Wow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I applaud the significant amount of effort you put into this!

Plus, the best part of tube amps is trying different tubes!

I was listening last night. And I have to reiterate with your post that is great to be back to tubes after being with solid state.

Woo Hoo!! MattHooper is back! Woo Hoo! We missed you Matt! Happy Thanksgiving!

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, but I’m not sure that’s their target. I think an 1161/1160 is a good target. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

I find these threads fascinating and entertaining to observe the psyche of some of these people. It is so entertaining to watch how people act (usually the same ones over and over). :)

You did great, Mike! Beautiful styling for sure. My "when I win the lottery amp" is the Statement 452 iQ Musicbloc Integrated Amplifier for sure.

Hi - is that a serious question? Who cares how something measures? And I sure as heck don't care what deaf people on the forums think who are unable to hear or think for themselves and thus require measurements to tell them what to think.

Good idea! Gravy makes a lot of things better.
