Hello,
I'm going to buy the Tannoy Cheviot speakers, with 12" HPD transducers.
There is anyone who knows how they work with Aleph amplifiers?
Thanks for your advices.

Hello Marcello,
I have a friend, who was a high end dealer. His choice for speakers is a set of 15" HPDs powered by a version of the Zen, made for him by a friend. It sounds very, very good, driven directly from an Accuphase CDP and goes surprisingly loud for such a small amp. His speakers are in a very large solidly built enclosure, not the original Tannoy resonant box.

Here are three very good Tannoy resources:

http://users.bigpond.com/tunnelgap/Tannoy/tannoy1.html which includes new enclosure specs by Alex Garner of Tannoy, plus lots of other stuff. Read the article by Peter Campbell about modifying his 15" Golds.

http://www.hilberink.nl/speaker.htm
Hans Hilberink's pages with lots of Tannoy data, modified enclosures and other designs. Hans is a very enthusiastic Tannoyista.
