" We indeed didn't expect so many qualities from a newcomer... We were agreeably surprised by the overall quality of sound restitution, most of all because good preamplifiers are rare. The TR20 is transparent, light without being etherous. It deserves being used with the best power amps of the moment "
Jean HIRAGA - TR20 preamplifier - NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON (France)


« The harmony and cheerfulness brought by the TU10 take your heart much closer to the music truth...One can very easily hear the difference when listening a CD with and without the TU10 : it makes the whole HIFI system richer and more powerfull...Anybody who bought a TU10 will never be disappointed! »
TU10 preamplifier - AUDIOART (TAIWAN)


« The TU10 valve preamp left us flabbergasted by its build quality but above all by its measured performances and its audition, extremely dynamic, ultra-detailed in its analyse but still with warm timbres, so many qualities that we usually find with high-end preamps sold four to five times more expensive than the TU10. Very few companies can boast about such a success, this preamp at less than FRF 15,000 severely sets the records straight .. This preamp is a revelation to us. It is an undeniable reference in its price range and even far beyond »
Patrick VERCHER - TU10 preamplifier - PRESTIGE AUDIO / VIDEO (France)

" If you were thinking of spending considerably more on a pre-amp than (the distributor) is asking for the TU10, I'd take the time to have a serious audition because I think it sounds every bit as good as many preamps that sell for twice the current asking price "
TU10 - AUSTRALIAN HIFI (Australia)

" A reasonable price, justified by a rare build quality...The Siemel has a sound quality that will enchant the music-lover. With its smoothness, its unctuosity, its fluidity, it is very close to some tube designs...The TA20 adds smoothness, details, dynamics and musicality to make a warm and pleasing sound personality that really does justice to the music by showing its greatness without falling into a superficial enchantment that always end up boring the listener "
TA20 - NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON (France)

"I was rather surprised when the first few notes(...) drifted out into the room because the sound seemed rather fuller, richer and more complex than I had experienced with other amplifiers. I liked it(...) I finally realised that what I was listening to was a valve amplifier sound without the emphasis on the " sweetness " of the tonal character(...) A wide, spacious stereo image that extended to the speakers and beyond(...) Instruments and vocalists could be located not only precisely, but also very quickly(...) The amplifier was also very quiet -far more so than a valve amplifier, which made late-night listening very relaxing and highly involving
TA20 - AUSTRALIAN HIFI - Australia

" Combination of pre- and main amplifiers are there like sand on the beach. But the components of Siemel are an exception.

For most HIFI reviewers, hobby and work are closely linked. That's also true for me, but this time, my work brought me particularly a lot of pleasure(...) Lightness and cheerfulness characterise the sound personality of the three units(...) The Siemel products have convinced me on their amazing ability to reproduce the music with high fidelity.

The company Siemel don't need to offer audio products: it earns its money with the production of component in the medical and airspace industry. The director of Siemel combines here profession and hobby. A great synthesis of High-End Finesse and a artisan quality and solidity of production resulted.

Which of the two preamps (tube preamp TU 10 or solid state preamp TR20) makes the best combination with the TA20 (main amp)? Sonically there is a resemblance. Both preamps make music in a very easy way and with great finesse. The TR20 has more 'presence', was a little more controlled; the TU 10 gives a little more space. The main amp sounds open, airy, free.

In both combinations (TU10/TR20 and TA20) there was substance, together with easiness and finesse."

Conclusion:

"Bildschöne, hervorragend verarbeitete und repräsentative Verstärkerreihe aus Frankreich. Durchhörbarkeit, Leichtigkeit, und Speilfreude charakteriseren die Klangeigenschaften aller drei Komponenten. Sie sind uneingeschränkt praxistauchlich."

Jürgen Schröder- TA20/TR20/TU10 - AUDIOPHILE - Germany

 

« The musical restitution is very coherent, organized and dense. The sound matter is very full. The stereo image is stable and precise ... this set shows rare and much sought-after qualities. Indeed, it expresses music with a lot of order and cohesion. There are very few notes outside the music. The notes carry a lot of weight and their progression has strength.
Jean-Marie PIEL - TR20 preamplifier / TA20 power amplifier - DIAPASON (France)

 

« Full of charm and spirit, the TR20 and TA be feared by any international competitor. The "made in Europe" quality stamp, thanks to Siemel, comes out powerfully strengthened-merci, gracie, thank you and dankeschön ! »
Werner Högimaier - TR20 preamplifier / TA20 power amplifier - IMAGE HIFI (Germany)

 

« It is pleasant to find a brand succeeding that much on the first version of a product .. We know one thing for sure, these electronics will get themselves talked about.. the TA20 / TR20 set has an edge over many competitors with an extraordinary presence -and we weigh our words ... These electronics have a nice fluidity, the music flows with a natural grace ... The sound is powerful, virulent, with an impressive basis in the bass range and an opening up in the treble devoid of all sharpness .. This is what we can call a success »
Pierre-Yves MATTON - TR20 preamplifier / TA20 power amplifier - HAUTE-FIDELITE (France)

" Both models have the talent to manage to reproduce the essence of music ! "
TU10/TA20 - STEREOSOUND ( Japan)

 

« Over an extended appraisal, I found the Gallic duo to be most capable and keen, without becoming at all overbearing or brash...The Siemel TU10/TA20 would be ideal for those who believe hi-fi should be manufactured to high standards, yet at a realistic price." »
Jason KENNEDY - TU10 preamplifier / TA20 power amplifier - HIFI CHOICE (UK)

 

" The Siemel products impressed us very much thanks to both their technological and musical qualities, especially at this price level ".

TU10/TA20 - CLASS A ( Russia)

 

" The Siemel trio can really become a serious competitor to the best electronics currently available on the Italian market. A tube/solid state amplification that, at a price still acceptable, offers the best of each technology with an appropriate common sense. Siemel has succeeded both technologically and - the most important point for us- musically ".
