What’s most important to you sonically from speakers and system? The Spatial Audio X3 looks like it can be driven by a SET amp, and it’s near full range with a powered woofer.
Recommended SET amp and speakers to 20k
Hello: I am in the market for a SET amp, 2A3, 300b or 845, i haven’t decided yet and speakers to complement them. My budget is 20k for both, used is fine. If anyone has some recommendations/comments that would be very helpful. Thanks, Bruce

I second the Charney Audio recommendation by larryi. Beautiful horns built on the tractrix theory that engage the listener. http://charneyaudio.com |
There are a lot of good suggestions, in my opinion, listed above. I liked the Spatial Audio speaker too, and the 10" Cube Audio Nenuphar, and if you like your sound to be extremely dynamic (who doesn't) and don't mind a bit of a hard edge and brittleness, Zu speakers are in the game. If you are looking for a warm, musical speaker that remains lively and engaging, Audio Note speakers should be auditioned. They can work with low-powered SET amps (Audio Note sells such amps), even though they are not super efficient. I own a speaker system where the midrange driver/horn alone is worth at least $25k, and yet, I might some day trade it in on a Charney Audio system that costs something like $17,000; it is that good. |
