Check out the Revel 126be.... I owned the 106 and they were great with 40 watts of el34 in my medium room
$3000 stand mounted speakers?
Whats a good contender in the $3000 range for a small monitor speaker to use with an EL34 tube amp w/ 40 wpc? The room is lively w/ hardwood floors and 18' x 22' x 9'H family area.
I'm contemplating the ProAc Tablet 10, but I'm wondering if I can do better by increasing my purchase up to $3k.
(FYI, I don't want floor standing speakers because of WAF, and have no problem from my end on this matter.)

surprised nobody has mentioned the Audience 1+1 V3, I have the 2+2, 4+4 and 1+1 All v2+, they have a very good WAF factor, i plan upgrading to the new V3, as a single driver with no crossover they have a coherence and tonal detail that belies the price, check out the latest reviews, here is a user review https://www.audioshark.org/speakers-10/review-audience-clairaudient-1-1-v3-speakers-15287.html for more bass a rel sub works very well |
The Dynaudio Special 40 is a fun speaker at this price point. Not the most neutral and I found the mid bass to be under damped (cello wolf tones were a problem), but dynamic and engaging with a nice full sound. Maybe not the best match for an SET amp though. I’d also check out the Silverline Minuet Supreme ($2k) - not a looker, but remarkably refined and musical, and should be very tube friendly. I have comments for both on my blog (TAWW.co) Cheers, TAWW |
