My amp has been fine with other setups - I'm not convinced that the issues we're finding aren't just a result of the small speakers? So unless you're VERY careful about what amp you're pairing with, it wont be that these just dont sound as good as they could, they'll sound really poor with...

Hmmm. I was just logging in to talk about my experiences with the Soundware XS SE and saw this thread. I'm finding similar and have been quite underwhelmed so far by the speakers - yet all of the reviews are good!? I've had B&W601s and a Rotel amp in the past on WhatHifi tips, then Monitor...

Regarding A.N.Other, I've just bought the Teac CR-H255 and am very happy with it (paired with Monitor Audio BR2 speakers). Not sure exactly how it sounds compared to the Onkyo though and What HiFi seem to think the Onkyo offers superior sound? Clare, I notice that like most, you suggest decent...

The BR2s were out of stock initially, so I've only just got them this weekend. I've currently been running them in, so not tested them thoroughly yet. I'm also using fairly bog-standard cable, so not sure how much improvement it would be upgrading that (will do in due course). Anyway, to the...

Reviews in the magazine would be a good place to start

Went and had a chat with the Sevenoaks & have also had further emails back from Teac. Apparently the BR2s will be fairly easy for the Teac to drive since they are 6ohms and 90dbs, so being slightly out of the recommended range shouldnt be a problem. Sevenoaks agreed with this. I hadnt...

Just to update, I've been too busy to test any speakers out with the system. I'm probably just going to go ahead and buy the BR2s as I want to get the system up and running. Will report back on how they sound when/if I do.

Apologies for the repeated updates, but hopefully they may be of use for some? I've had this back from Teac. "The Monitor Audio BR2 speakers are a 6ohms load the same as the CR-H255 and a sensitivity of 90dB so they are an easy speaker for the amplifier to drive" At 25W+25W, I guess the amp...

Fair enough. Although, since Richer Sounds profits from Mordaunt-Short's success, I think its natural to suspect that they may be more inclined to push M-S speakers over others. Anyway, whatever the case, I thought the Avant 902is sounded pretty good. I've now bought the Teac CR-H255 and had a...

Anyone else tried any of these (or other) speakers with the Teac?

"Nope - Tannoy is part of the TC Group, based in Denmark" Sorry for the mistake. I've read quite a bit over the weekend and so may have got confused or read someone elses nonsense. ...Ah, it was Mordaunt-Short! My point was that if RS recommended the M-S despite owning Tannoy, then that...

Funnily, clear and open is exactly what What Hifi said about them. http://www.mordauntshort.com/assets/documents/WHFFeb06902ilicensedreprint.pdf I'm now moving towards thinking either Mordaunts or MA's

I've just heard the Mordaunts and the Tannoy F1s. On a different system though. The guy said that they'd recently had the speakers up against each other in the shop and the Mordaunts sounded best. Interestingly, dont Richer Sounds own Tannoy? Anyway, even though I prefer the design of the...

Hopefully someone will have already bought one of the combinations or have tested them out. "the What HiFi summary it seems that the Monitors are the better choice" Where did it say that please? Am I right that the Mordaunts are rear ported? Although I prefer the design of others anyway.

Some useful comments. I'm also in a similar position. I'm about to buy the Teac-CR-H255 since I want the USB connection. I've had to sell my Rotel RA-01/ B&W 602S3 combination due to it being too big for a new flat. I bought the system based on What HiFi reviews and couldnt have been happier...
