advice for speakers both 300B SET and home theater friendly


Hi All,

    I recently got into trying a 300B SET amp.  Pairing with my B&W 805 D3 is interesting but the difficult impedance curve is probably cutting out a lot of the 300B SET magic. At the same time I have an opportunity to look for a speaker set primary for home theater and I'm wondering if there maybe something out there that's friendly/usable for both movies and SET tube music listening occasionally.  My Marantz SR7011 shares similar limitation as my 300B SET.  My Marantz is rated only between 8-6ohms and favors flat impedance curve. Some of the entry level Zu Audio seem interesting.  I'm not a fan of Klispch.  Looking to stay as far below $1000 as possible.  Appreciate your thought and suggestion.

+1 re Tekton and the Double Impact already mentioned. If size is a factor, you can look to one of the smaller Tekton Design speakers.

I like Zu, but I would pick Tekton over Zu despite their sharing the same breezes in Utah.
If your budget is around 1k or so as you stated.
It might be time to look at the used market and maybe buy a better speaker used then what you might get new.

And I agree with freediver,forget ht buy the best sound just for music and the ht stuff will fall right into place.

Best of luck to you,
Kenny.
