The Fritz Carrera 7BE speakers at Capital Audiofest sounded terrific off a 8 watt tube amp. I would strongly consider these. Only 87db efficient but very easy to drive. I was very impressed! Show price of $2500 a pair still offered I believe. Klipsch Heresy III another strong competitor that are truly high efficiency.
Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k
Currently I have a Decware SET integrated running a VPI Prime, Parasound JC3+, Nagaoka MP200 cart, through a pair of Klipsch RB5 II’s. Before you snicker at the Klipsch, they sound wonderful. Not as exact as my Thiel CS2.4’s, but wonderful none the less. I hooked these speakers up after years of just lying around, just out of curiosity and they astounded me. So natural.
So so it got me thinking, what 2 way speaker would’ve be a good match for a 6 watt SET integrated. I’d like something with 92db efficiency +/- and cost around $2k +/-.

The De Capos are actually around 87db, too. https://www.soundstage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1150:nrc-measurement... |
