I have Tannoy DC8Ti speakers and hope to get feedback from other Tannoy speaker owners if you are using them with a BHK 250. And if not a BHK 250, what amp are you using? I have a BHK Signature Preamp, DirectStream DAC, and Stellar Phone Preamp. My preference would be the BHK 250, but I am open to suggestions. ---

You have nice speakers, congrats. I used to have the D500. While Tannoy definition series are ok with pure class A amplification, I recommend having a home trial of the M700 mono blocks, if possible. They will surprise you. I too have the BHK pre, Stellar phono pre, and DS DAC, and I have added M700 to drive my Dynaudio Contours. I am so pleased, I do not see me changing them in the foreseen future. ---

@Serhan. Thank you for the reply. I will give your suggestion serious consideration. ---

You’re welcome, and please post your impressions. M700s brand new take about 100 hours or so to sound their best. ---

Both the M700s and BHK250 would do very well with your Tannoys. The 250 would be a pretty big step up from the 700s though. ---

@jamesh Because of the difference in price points, I would expect a lot more than just a big step up 🙂. I’m currently using a NAD M22v2 power amp. It drives my Tannoy’s with ease and the SQ is quite good. I suspect the M700s would sound better with the BHK preamp and I’m convinced the BHK 250 would sound even better; somewhere between the two lies the M1200’s SQ. I’m also looking to move from a Furman power conditioner to a Power Regenerator and, from what I understand, that decision depends primarily on the power amp. That leaves me with two logical choices - the P12 (M700 or M1200?) or P15 (BHK 250). I will say that I have been satisfied with every PS Audio product that I’ve purchased to date. I’m considering the cost of everything against the overall improvement in SQ, and since I can no longer audition PS Audio gear locally, I’m having a hard time making up my mind on which power amp to buy. Your home trial, and trade-in and customer loyalty discounts are great. I will certainly take advantage of them once I decide. ---

You really can’t go wrong with either. The M22V2 really is a great amp, no doubt about that. P12 with either monos, or P15 with BHK 250 will not be a minor upgrade though.
