Best speakers for Primaluna Dialouge 2 "TUBES"


Just purchased m y first tube 2 channel tube amp...Primaluna Dialouge 2 (38 watts).

Looking for a heavenly speaker match, I listen to mostly rock/Pop (Aimee Mann, The The, Tears for Fears, X,Sarah Mclaughilin,Depeche Mode, Babble,Diana Krall, Eagles,Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Nirvana, Green Day....everything 70"s to today!
I'd like floor standers....considering the following:
Spendor se8, Totem Forest, Triangle Antel ESW, Usher 6311, or your suggestions! I have $4000 for a pair and center channel
Thanks for your help, I want to be happy 2 years from now!!

I have a pair of spendor s5e, the smaller sibling of the s8 and they sound great with my medium power tad 60 tube amp
I highly recommend giving Proac D25 or D38 a listen. It sounds amazing with the tube amps.
Theb2826,

In addition to all the nice speakers mentioned above and the many out there, my 2 cents ...
I currently have the Primaluna Prologue 2 paired with Aurum Cantus V3Ms and one of the new REL R-series subs, the R305. I never, never get tired of hearing it. The ribbon tweater of the V3Ms is super quick and very lifelike.

To my ears, this is an absolutely heavenly pairing and will fare well with your musical tastes. Best thing is that, given your budget, you'll have change left over for some nice cabling and/or interconnects.

Have fun with your speaker search.

Cheers,
Garry
Try the speakers with your amp before buying, if possible at your home. I have use prologue series with Monitor Audio GR20, they were good match. The output level variation wrt imepedance of spakers make these tube amps very choosy regarding speakers. The low damping factor of the amp also makes life difficult for some speakers that go deeper in LF.
