Audio Note speakers....they sound like music to me...what a concept!!
Speakers for triode tube amps
I have a Luxman CL 38u SE tube preamp and matching MQ 88 SE Triode tube amp rated at 25 wpc. I m using ProAc Anniversary Tablets at the moment and I’m wondering how I can upgrade to a speaker that can be driven with 25 Triode watts. Any recommendations on a high quality 8 ohm speaker that is easy to drive? I know Wilson Tune Tots are out of the question (impedance/ sensitivity issues- they were my first choice. Not interested in horn loaded speakers. I Love the Harbeth P3 but I already own a pair of 40.1s in my main system. Any suggestions??

25wpc? I have had the neighbors complain about the loud music while I was using a 1.5 wpc 45 triode. It’s not simply a case of choosing a speaker with a high efficiency rating. You need to choose a speaker with a very benign impedance curve. IOW, don’t buy anything with multiple drivers. The more drivers, the less appropriate the speaker is for tube amplification. Yes yes, I know the forum Einstein has speakers with dozens of drivers which he cannot stop crowing about. But reality is he is not Einstein but a bad a rendition of Helen Keller. Go for either single driver speaker, or if that is too radical for you, an efficient two way floor stander. |
