Jazz, voices, strings, and acoustic instruments get an immediate, full-bodied presentation with strong rhythmic life. The large speakers make music easy to hear in a living room, while the valve amplifier adds warmth and flowing tone. You give up some compactness and restraint, and the turntable needs careful setup to stay at its best.

Lowest frequency response across the system’s components. Approximate — a component is excluded only when it declares an amplifier wattage without also declaring a sensitivity figure, so an amplifier that happens to report a sensitivity slips through and can pull the reading down.
Drive difficulty99.0 dB/W
99.0 dB/W85.0 dB/W
Speaker sensitivity normalised to 8 ohms. Approximate — we do not record whether a figure was quoted per watt or per 2.83 volts, so a non-8-ohm speaker can be out by up to 3 dB.
