I would look for higher efficiency speakers (90 dB Minimum) with a fairly flat inpedance
How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp
Greetings,
I'm starting my journey into the better realms of audio gear and I'm looking for some help matching speakers to my newly acquired amps.
I've never had the budget for higher end audio, but some equipment has more or less falling into my lap. So, what I'm currently working work:
The amps are hand built and on the underside note the output as 30W/8Ω. You can see an image of that here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/180HQu90tLWnNFlIB_ugAGdoWTY1t6_YE or a folder w/ images of one of the amps here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1bEqqi_-50ki9y8H8i81bwie7vVTbU99A if you're more curious.
So, what I'm seeking is help choosing some speakers that will provide reasonable to good performance at a price that won't break the bank. Like I said before, my budget isn't exactly large. The only reason I have the amps and the phono stage that I do is because they more or less fell into my lap. I obviously have no issue buying used, and I also would not be averse to building a kit. I have reasonable woodworking skills (at least enough to build/assemble a cabinet) and my soldering skills should be adequate.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Andy

- Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2 Turntable w/ SMMC4 Cartridge
- Deja Va Audio LTD 300B Pull Pull Monoblock Amplifier x2 (One needs some work, so I won't be immediately heading out and buying anything until this is fixed)
- MOSCODE Super It Phono Stage (Picking up tomorrow)
