@@JasonsLabVideos Thank you! It’s a great speaker and easy load. 8-10W SE tube power is already enough.

Thank you! For me it works well with 30-40cm to the back. They have their port to the downside, not to the back, which makes it possible ☺️

@@Jagman5 Oh wauw, that's a lot closer than i thought was possible. I hope to have the speakers one day. Heard them on a show here in the Netherlands and I fel in love with them. Again thank you for you answer and sharing your wonderful setup! Enjoy!!! 😁

Thank you! Yes, this is the FS2 MK1, so it has the bass driver from another supplier. I actually love their neutrality, clarity, transparency, speed and dynamic character, but still staying kind of on the warm and full bodied side. They are a very easy load for the tube amp, so that the music don’t lack dynamics. That was NOT the case with the Tannoy Kensington GR. They sounded more slow and lazy on my 845 tubes. In comparison to the Kensington, the FS2 is less over-pronouncing the mid-range and voices (that was too much with the Kensington, specially for Trumpets and Sax) but pushing a bit more the top-end treble. I guess if you miss treble and have some space in your room (less reflections) it’s gonna work.

Well that’s not correct, because this song is very base intense and the mic is between the speakers… that’s why you don’t hear the mids/highs well and get the base extension.

What do you mean?

Thanks mate! Since then I upgraded many things and even found out that my 845 tubes were dying already… now it’s on another league! To your question, it’s actually written in the bio of this video: It’s a reference level Naim Mastering. www.discogs.com/de/release/3382477-Antonio-Forcione-Sabina-Sciubba-Meet-Me-In-London

Thank you so much, I noticed it too late and was too excited 😂. The are on my list for the next speaker update, not easy to find a dealer here in Potsdam. Looking for a speaker that can be placed rather close to the wall accepting a Naim Nap 200 and NAD M10 Room Correction. To Do (Listen) List: Friedl&Trenner - Osiris Neat - Elektra Kudos - Super20 PMC - Twenty5 24i Ascendo - D7 B&W - 804D2 Blumenhofer - Genuin FS 3 MK 2

@@Naitsabesuil no worries, all good. If you’re interested, let’s connect. I have many experiences to share. And I guess I’m not far away from you… :) Just drop me a PM.

@@Jagman5 Unfortunately they deactivated the PM feature... Do you have Instagram?

It’s close but different :) The Kensington is know for a slightly emphasized lower midrange / voices - that makes it feel more warm and more bodied. But the Blumenhofer’s sound more refined and neutral. Also the tube amp feels more comfortable with the easier load of the Blumenhofer, so it’s more dynamic and rocking with faster, powerful songs. Even 10W should be enough for the Blumenhofer - I never even tried to get at the limit of 24W at all! For me this combo here is slightly better due to more neutrality and musicality ❤️

@@Jagman5 Between Kensington and These which one has better attack, dynamics and bass ?

@@powerslavenegi Dynamics and attack is better on the Blumenhofer with my tube amp (it needs really easy loads). Bass is a bit deeper with the Kensington.

Hi, the 512CA tubes are stock. The 219iA is slightly upgraded. I received just recently the Psvane 845 Extreme and they are another world 🙏

It’s concrete blocks

@@Jagman5 How much is the weight per each Block ?

@@robertschulz5921 I guess around 50kg

Thank you 👍

Hi and sorry for my late reply! Well, I heard them with some tube gear and also on a Devialet amp - actually it sounds best to me with tubes. A powerful class A should also work, maybe some musical Accuphase and probably Pass Labs as well.

I would recommend at least 20 Watts of Tube power - actually those Kensington GR love also huge power up to 500 Watts

I know it’s not prefect, because my room is massively limited... they need to have more space to the wall at the back and actually the left speaker is too close to the left wall too! Is there more that you mean by wrong positioning?

@@Jagman5 Hello, the speakers only image properly and "disappear" when they are toed in so that the drivers cross plane a few feet in front of your ears/listening position. This locks the centre image so that vocals and centre sounds appear "there". This creates alot more 3d in terms of depth especially and also sounds more tonally correct. They do still sound good toed in by a few degrees the way most speakers are but they dont give their best... i didnt realise till i fully read the manual and cant believe what positive difference it made! Obviously its your room/system/ears so your mileage may vary but i tried Tannoy advice in mine and went from an 8/10 to 10/10 listening experience!

@@tomwebb7091 well, I tried it as well, but at this position it locked in the best way. Thanks for your advice though!

And which gear do you use with your Tannoys?

@@Jagman5 Fair enough there are room layouts of course to consider but i much more enjoy the "Tannoy way" in mine!

Wow thank you for this comment. I think that’s exactly what it’s about.

This song was streamed via Tidal over a dedicated Roon Rock Core and converted by the Chord 2Qute DAC.

Çok düşünmene gerek kalmadan geçtin işte abi :)

horn is the king.

Roberto Zari congratulations and my pleasure that it helped you! Could you tell that to Tannoy, maybe they’d give me some provision... :)) have fun with it :)

@@Jagman5 :)

Strange, as you can absolutely not determine the quality of a souns system on RUclips. It is the same as thinking you can determine the quality of a tv by viewing a RUclips movie of that tv!

I did exactly this myself before buying the Kens... the Turnberry GR is nowhere near the Kensington GR (except it still looks lovely, is finished almost as well and is equally easy to drive). The Turnberry sound is thicker and less clean and clear sounding quite muddy in my room when tested... it may not help i mainly used a Yamaha As3000 amp at the time which i was seduced by the looks but had to divorce due to its bland sterile sound... dont go near Yamaha 2 channel gear! You can do better for less money. Mmback to the Turnberry's and my dealer says the Cheviot type get closer but i heard the Kens and was sold with 3 mins becuase they just sound real. Iirc my Monitor Audio Gold 300 were somewhat better than the Turnberry models. The Kensingtons are just much more the high end speaker in wiring/crossover/driver material and cabinet layout and it makes a world of difference but then they are more than double the money! The new pricing means the Turnberry are now a total rip off. Even at an eye watering £19k the Kensingtons have that musicality that can seldom be found elsewhere and they are just about worth it... im eternally glad i paid £8k for mine though!!!

@@tomwebb7091 seems quite bit mid-bass boom.
