Good and honest recommendation from Mike Sanders. This IMHO demonstrates that he has integrity. A higher sensitivity and easy to drive speaker will more effectively exploit the sonic potential of these fine QS mono blocks.

change amps or speakers
I run a pair of Martin-Logans ESLs with Quicksilver Mini-Monos. I was surprised that the M-Ls played loud and were easy to drive. I played that system for years and the amps are still in use. Not sure what happens if you drive the amps really hard all the time but I get all the volume I need with just 25 watts and the amps held up fine. The system was quite good. . |
@majorc Yeah, kinda wondered if he'd say that, and he's a Klipsch horn speaker guy according to local dealers here. I've only heard your same taller EMT LFT8Bs with the later model Quicksilver mono amps with the larger transformers and knurled speaker terminals. Sounded quite nice. Also heard the smaller version EMT LFT16a 85db speaker many times paired with a low 8 watt limited production Audio Note Meishu integrated tube amp and it was impressive. 16As were amazing with the new QS Mono 120s, and could tell the EMTs like power. Matching well is key for sure. fwiw, both pairs on all amps were run with very low capacitance RCA silver interconnects and low capacitance silver plated speaker cables. All combos had plenty of volume in a 20'x40' foot room too. |
@majorc take a look at these and give them a call to discuss. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/cantvento896dcblka/canton-vento-896-dc-8-3-way-fl... i have the $4000 book shelfs that they sale for $1500, great sounding. |
