I am following the threads on 'speakers audition' in HFV for selection of my 2.0 speaker system. You guys are great and whatever I came to know about the audio system is because of you and HFV.
After building my PC and puting in Asus Xonar soundcard I got a decent source. During last one month or so I have collected about 20-25 CDs from Rhythmhouse and Amazon.usa. Few more from Amazon is on the way.
Today I have been to Sunny's Place at Chittaranjan Park Delhi. And on the way I visited Viren Bakshi's place at Sarita Vihar. Listened to Viren's valve amps with his single drive speakers. The valve amp has its own flavour and vocals were really lively. He played Lata Mangeskar (I have carried the CD) and it was as if Lataji was singing in front of us. We have listened Supertramp, Leonard Kohen's 'Live in London', Sarod by Amjad Ali Khan. Also, played some rock music, it was not bad either even with single stage speaker.
But for my bedroom I will go for 2 way bookshelf. The Tannoy F1 custom was my next hunt at Sunny's place. It was not a showroom, but an office in the 2nd floor. Sunny is a good soul with warm personality. I have listened to F1 custom with an Yamaha amplifier. Sound was good. But the room was an office room and the things were not properly set.
Next Saturday Sunny will send three pair of Tannoy BS speakers (F1 customs, Revolution signature and Reveal series) to Viren's place and I will take audition there along with the valve amps of Lyrita.
Will the Tannoy speakers pair well with Viren's valve amps? What's your opinion?
