[#10305] Leak Club for Leakies or Leak user    
LS3/5A is UK made speakers.
I have no Spendor BC1, Tannoy.... other UK speakers but I do own a JBL 4312A.
I do not use my tube amplifier to drive my JBL 4312A
I used the following tube amplifiers for my LS3/5A.

UK, USA, Germany & even Japan made tube amplifiers :-)

I ALWAYS find US made amp, e.g. EICO HF-60, drives Britain made speakers, e.g. LS3/5A, sound great.
--------------------------------------------

Many US amplifiers are good for LS3/5A and also many UK amplifiers are good for LS3/5A.

Honest to say, other set up are for reference. We choose our set up to suit our tastes.

samkee hing,

Perhaps JBL experts can comment, but my limited experience with JBL is that JBL doesn't give very punchy bass. They have deep bass, heavy bass but not punchy bass.
I have 4311 now driven also by MC240. Deep and punchy bass to my ears, but in terms of punchiness, it loses out to AR and Klipsch, even to LS3/5a; and the 4310/4311 series probably gives the most punchy bass amongst JBL speakers.
A good condition MC240 shall be able to give very good bass, you may want to check the condition of the 240. If a good condition 240 can't give you a deep and punchy bass, I don't think a Leak amp could do any better (Gingers may disagree). Try a good solid state amp.
With your system, I would believe the limitation is more on the speaker.

But not nearly as good as Leak TL12.1 or TL25A driving LS3/5A, right?

One of the reasons why UK speakers may sound better with UK amp is that the speaker designer may actually use UK amp during the critical tuning process before final production. Likewise for US speakers.

What tubes you guys recommended for MC240 to make the bass more punchy?

Now my MC240 equiped with

1st 12AX7 Old Bubble Boy Square Ring
Pair of 12AU7 Telefunken smooth plate
Pair of 12AX7 Telefunken smooth plate
Pair of 12BH7 ICC
4 6L6GC late 70's GE

Driving a pair of Tannoy 12 Gold Monitor with ugly cab. Any comments?

I noticed your comment was made at early morning at 0402 hours :-)
It was the time LEAK tube amp leaked out much poison :-)

As there is a tweak on your 12 Plus, I am interested to compare yours with mine :-)

I am using both the US amplifier (Mcintosh MC 240) & the UK (leak 12.1, Quad II) and I must say both has its own characteristics with the former having more punch and enegry while the latter having more depth and smoothness.

My MC240 matches very well with my previous Altec 604E as well as the LS3/5A with the former having more base..which is of course are characteristics of the speakers.

If 75 or above out of 100 marks is Grade A, TL12.1 and TL25A get 85 and 86 marks respectively to my ears. EICO HF-60 gets 80 marks in terms of my PERSONAL fondness.

Having made the above crude comparison, I warned myself that we may fall in the trap of comparing KT66 amps with EL34 amps, an apple with an orange.

After continuous use (run in the power trans and NOS parts) for some time, I am happy that my pair of HF-60 now sound much more relaxed and authoritative than before with the LS3/5A's.

I concur with R. We can't possibly which is more tasty, not to say an apple and an orange, perhaps a grapefruit with a plum. It also depends on which type of music being played, e.g. orchestral or vacal. On the other hand, we must also bear in mind that, in money terms, Eico HF60s are approx one-third of Leak TL 12.1 or 25A.

其實Eico一直都以超值見稱,以HF-85為例,敢說20K內現代機非其對手...^____^



兩年前o係r家中邂逅,真係驚為天人! (當時我用緊ARC Reference前級)
