30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting?

My recent amp has led me to want to downsize my setup. My Sophia II’s can be handled by the amp but I wonder what would I look at if I downsized the speakers to prepare for a life less crowded by heavy equipment. NOTE: The amp inspires me to believe I am hearing the very best music of my life < 70 watts.

I recently discovered my pass labs xa30.8 sounds amazing with 4 ohm or difficult loads. That is what I tend to stick to now.

Vandersteen Quatro work very well with my Pass XA 30.5.  Although not efficient speakers, they have a powered sub integrated and an easy consistent ohm load.  I only ever see the needle twitch on the amp when the electronic dance music is thumping.

One of the amps I'm using is the Integrated Luxman 590 AX II ( class A 30 Watts) I use it with my Klipsch Forte III's, JBL 4319, and Zu Audio OMEN MK.II.

I build a clone of the First Watt amp pure class A, point to point wired and better capacitors transformer and resistors.  I use it t drive a pair of Vandersteen Model 5As with no issues.  Beats the pants off the First Watt also!


Happy Listening.
