When I owned the CJ11a, i drove small Thiels and small Martin Logans with it.
Thiel 1.5 and ML Aerius to be exact. Very nice combo IMHO

Looking for speaker recommendations for CJ Premier 11A
Hi all,
I have been out of the high end audio game for a while but itching to get back in. I am looking to get another CJ premier 11A or newer low output CJ tube amp. I previously had an 11A and a pair of 12A's. They were paired with Thiel 2.3's and I found the combo ok. I believe if I had a more efficient speaker, it could have sounded much better. Don't get me wrong it sounded great. But us audiophiles are always looking or the next tweak. That said, Looking for recommendations on efficient floorstanding speakers that would would mate well with the Premier 11A. I have a friend who has Legacy SIG III's and they sound good although he is running solid state through them. But looking at the specs, they seem to be a very efficient speaker.
I open to any and all recommendations.
Thanks for reading.
Dave

In a room that small you should keep away from rear ported speakers. A sealed speaker like this Spendor would shine with Conrad-Johnson gear! http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/103549/Spendor-Spendor_A5R_Stereo_Speakers-Speakers |
10’x12’is a small room.As long as you can move the speakers about 2’+ out from walls and room is treated ported speakers will be fine...If your set on CJ front end I would look at Dynaudio Excite X14’s(FANTASTIC small speaker with AMAZING clarity and resolution)or Reference 3A Dulcet BE...With CJ gear I would stay away from Spendor,Sonus Faber,Harbeth,Vienna Acoustic etc..as they are already warm sounding and IMO will be wayyy to syrupy... |
