iTube ValveDock with Speakers
Wed, Jan 9 2008, 8:58AM
Hi,
I have just listened the sound of Fatman iTube ValveDock with its Speakers, it's good but I wonder is it possible to upgrade the speakers, can you please advice.
Thanks





Indeed it is. In fact, when we gave the Fatman its Award, we specifically nominated the unit itself without its speakers (ie the amp and the dock) because we felt it delivers better performance partnered with alternative speakers in the £100 class, such as Q Acoustics 1010is or Tannoy Mercury F1 Customs. Don't get over-ambitious, though, because the ValveDock's amplification is fairly modest - it'll struggle with a pair of B&W 801s.
