Best 3 options for SET amps

Hi - I am in the process of building a second system based on SET (I already bought the first piece - Audio Note P4 300B mono amps) and wondering which spkrs should I consider for a medium sized room for Jazz/Pop/rock listening.

I have crafted this list, that is open for your recommendations:

1.- Coincident Victory
2.- Royal Master 3A
3.- Cabasse line

Thanks for sharing your comments.

Personally, I prefer the Coincident to the 3A. I don't know if you are buying new or used but Coincident has a newer version of the Victory available. It is supposed to be better in the lower frequencies than the original.
I had the original Victories and thought they were unbeatable in a smaller room, especally with SET.

Well, there are quite a few excellent choices these days. Your three listed choices are vastly different in their approach to high(ish) efficiency, so it is hard to offer suggestions. The Conicidents are 97dB 3-way, the Royals are small 92dB 2-way monitors with minimal crossover, and the Cabasse line runs the gamut of everyhting.

I have 97dB Cain & Cain I-Bens that I think are fantstic, but it really depends on what you are looking for - fullrange single driver, compression horns, multi-way dynamic driver. So here's are wide range of options:

Audio Note's own speakers
Cain & Cain - Single or I-Bens
Edgarhorns
Silverline
Von Schweikert
Zu Speakers
Dali Speakers
Beuhorn

If none of those look interesting, let us know.

Thanks Nutella/Dark for your suggestions.

I like full bodied, flesh-out kind of presentation, wuth a little higher than normal volume.
I have read good things on the Cains and Edgarhorns, but my space is quite limited, that is why the Reference or the Cabasse could be an option.
