A Quicksilver Integrated Amplifier, rated at 20 watts, works great with my Focal Aria 906 speakers cited as 89.5 dB sensitivity. I listen at moderate volume, and the volume control sits around 10:30 o'clock.
Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used
While this topic has been covered before, I'm interested in both recent experiences with new products or anyone who just would like to chime in.
I have a couple friends interested in tube amps, lower wattage -- 40 wpc or below. Before they pull the trigger there, they need to find the best higher sensitivity speakers they can, hopefully at $2k or below, new or used.
QUESTION: What high sensitivity speakers would you recommend to them, new or used? What did you try and NOT like?
Characterizations of their sound, experience with a trial period, the company, etc. appreciated.
I'll pass the best answers and links along to them.
