Used Legacy Signature IIs or IIIs between $1600 and $2000. Easy to drive 4 ohm, 94 db efficiency, 3.2 ohm min. 6-10" woofers, dual midrange, soft dome/ribbon tweeters and rear ambience tweeter. Gorgeous sound with tight, punchy deep bass. Can't be beat at that price. Drive nicely with 30 watts including a 1978 Yamaha CR620 receiver or a high end VAC amp. Superior dynamics and bass to a Magnapan and soooo much easier to drive.
Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used
While this topic has been covered before, I'm interested in both recent experiences with new products or anyone who just would like to chime in.
I have a couple friends interested in tube amps, lower wattage -- 40 wpc or below. Before they pull the trigger there, they need to find the best higher sensitivity speakers they can, hopefully at $2k or below, new or used.
QUESTION: What high sensitivity speakers would you recommend to them, new or used? What did you try and NOT like?
Characterizations of their sound, experience with a trial period, the company, etc. appreciated.
I'll pass the best answers and links along to them.
