Linn or Tannoy speaker

lyl223

Dear Chings,

I need your help to choose the speakers (Linn Majik 109 vs Tannoy Definition DC8):

Licening space: 10" x 9"
Planning INT AMP &CDP: Onix A65 & Onix CDP or Audiolab 8000S & Audiolab CDP
My Experience: new guy, haven't got any 2 chanel system before.
like to listen: instrument,piano, slow vocal songs (both male and female voice), and classic

I audited both two speakers. I like them both, preferred Tannoy DC8, but it's out of budget (7k more compare with Linn). Therefore, I would like to aske all Chings sharings how I should choose:

1. Will Linn be enough for my listening space? ( I need to put the speakers on my TV table, 18" width)
2. Should I just go with DC 8 and increase the budget?

I really don't know how I should make decision, therefore, all your comments and sharings are much appreciated. Many Thanks

I'm using Linn akurate 242 , no complaint ! Linn is a polite speaker ,therefore , I think linn will satisfy you ...

我需然是音響新仔一名，但之前在showroom聽過DC8，用黎聽啲Classic嘢、Piano、orchestral，確實幾好。但配唔配你啲器材就真係唔識喇。但我個人感覺DC8要空間夠大先發揮到佢概功能。此外，我個人好喜歡Tannoy DC Series概外形。

lei_ieong Ching, may I know which INT AMP and CDP you are using to push akurate 242? For majik 109 (bookshelf), will you think Onix A65 & CDP could match with 109?

Kalvin Ching, yes, it's stylish speaker. I am also not sure whether my listening space (around 100 sq ft) is too small for her.

Hope other chings could share their comments with us ("new boys")

Many Thanks
