Which Speakers to use with a Shanling - MC-30


I'm intertaining the idea of getting a Shanling - MC-30.
My concern is that it outputs only 3 watts of power. What
would you recommend as a good monitor speaker that would
work in a average size living room. 16' by 12'

thanks for any advice

Older Klipsch the Khorns cost too much but the Belle and Lascala are very very efficient. I bought mine after auditioining them on a 2A3 2 or 3 watt amp. You can get a pair of either these 2 used for $750-$!200. They will play very loudly with your amp and certainly fill the room. Otherwise get those things Musical Fidelity refuses to call amps they are Superchargers! They deliver 500 or 750 watts of power without touching the original signal and not even being an amplifier. They may be more than you want to pay but MF seems to want them sold so you never know.
I've said before and I'll say it again, buy amps for speakers, not speakers for amps.
I ran a MC-30 with with some Omegas and Cain & Cain Abbys and enjoyed the combos. They are mid 90's db and have no crossover which 3 watts will love. Price point is in line with the amp.
I think I'll re-think my Shanling idea. Unsound, your absolutely right.
Thanks guys.
Check out Fritzpeakers or maybe Tekton Design. I think they're very efficient speakers.I thought about that combo a while back and ended up cleaning up my old Marantz 2226 to use with a tube cdp. haven't gottem the speakers yet though.
