I forgot to mention the importance of using the dedicated Tannoy SuperLink Cable designed to be used with the ST100 & 200. https://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/?product=1790 Use of this cable was strongly recommended by my Dealer. He has similar taste in sound to me.

I tried a number of different cables from ordinary hook-up wire (awful) some MIT cable I had lying around (not much better) & the wire used internally in amps made by Lavardin Technologies (very good). I have yet to use Nordost Red Dawn LS cable which I use to hook-up my Canterburys & all my interconnects are Red Dawn as well- as I am looking for a pair that is less than 2 meters long.

The Superlink cable sounded best- again, only intensive listening showed the SuperLink to sound better than the Lavardin- it appeared to me that there was more information being passed to the super tweeter if that makes sense.

I'm assuming that the High purity (99.999%) solid core silver wiring used in the cable is the reason for that. If you do have Superlink- make sure the banana plug covers are on tight- they are screw in types & can work loose easily & go where lost socks end up! My wife hates the look of the ST100's- calls then shot down & burnt out UFO's from the old TV Programme UFO http://www.sharecg.com/v/42151/galle...UFO-1970-on-TV. So Im only allowed to set them up on weekends (the things we do for our better halves) Anyway- unplugged the SuperLink Cable & one of the covers fell off without me noticing & my wife probably vacuumed it up during her usual Tuesday cleaning frenzy- fortunately Tannoy had a spare lying around & sent it to me - free of charge- fabulous service!!

Hope this helps.
