The Heco I suggested is similar to the Devore 0/96, a German version if you will although the styling is more art deco. At the 2300.00 used price it is way under what a used 0/96 sells for.
Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated
Hello audio junkies.
I've been running my 35w Unison Research S6 integrated amp with a classic pair of Proac Response 2.5, but have come to the conclusion the the Unison doesn't have enough juice to get the Proacs to sing. I've been doing some research on higher-efficiency speaker brands that may be a better match for the amp, like WLM, Tannoy, Zu, Living Voice, etc. Functionally, my room is 13" x 30" and I need to fire the speakers across the short dimension, positioned about 7' apart on either side of fireplace. Would like to find something that would charge the room with bass and image well.
Any recommendations for me? Can be modern or vintage.
Thanks,

May we know the prospective budget? We are Unision Research Dealers with an S6 its 35 watts are glorious as long as you move into a speaker that is 91 or 92 db efficient with an easy load your Proac 2.5 are 86db which is far from optimal for a 35 watt amplifier hence you are running out of juice. Most of the Legacy line are 92db and the Focus Signature SE | http://legacyaudio.com/products/view/signature-se/have prodigious low end and work well in that sized room, they are also an incredible buy at $7,000.00 a pair for a hand made American speaker with state of the art Heil drivers.They are a sealed design so their bass is very tight and tuneful. The room our S6 and Legacy's are in is 17 long by 14 wide with a 10 foot ceiling. Troy or Dave Audio Doctor 877 428 2873 Dealer for Legacy, Unison Research, Kef, Tannoy, Graident, Paradigm, PSB, and many others. Give us a call to discuss. |
Take a look at the high efficiency (94+ db) single-driver Omega speakers (bookshelf and floor standers) (https://omegaloudspeakers.com/) . I own a pair of the Super Alnico Monitors driven by a Unison Unico (original hybrid with two 12au7's in the preamp section). My room is similar in size (15x25) to yours, but I have the speakers on the short wall. This combination sounds wonderful, and I just had the amp modded and now sounds even better. Really wonderful speakers. |
