@curtisvill Can you reply to my question from earlier - how much room do you anticipate between the speaker and the wall (will your desk be against a wall?)?
High efficiency desktop speakers
Hello,
As the title suggests I am looking for a pair of high efficiency desktop speakers. 95dB/watt at 8+ ohms is good, but if I can find speakers that are 98dB/watt at 8+ ohms or even higher sensitivity that would be even better based on the amp I will use to drive them. The amp is a custom made hybrid using 6sn7 and 6j5 tubes. I am using a Sonnet Morpheus DAC and Sonnet Hermes streamer, this will be for a streaming only system. My listening is all over the board as I like great recordings but I mostly listen to rock, jazz, female vocals, the Dead, and deep house music with a bit of opera and classical mixed in. Not looking to add a sub but have a small SVS if needed. Budget is 2K or less. I appreciate your help.
John

@blisshifi, sorry for the delayed reply, I've been at my restaurant. Speakers will sit 20" from the back wall and 4'-4 1/2" apart. |
@curtisvill And what is the wattage of your amp? I've seen this pop up from time to time, and if your desk is big enough it might be worth considering. I have enjoyed my experiences with Decware's larger full-range speakers, but never this one: |
@blisshifi The amp produces 10W into 8ohm, 5.5W into 30ohm, and 2.5W into 80ohm. I have used it to power a pair of Audio Note ANE/LX which it has done so effortlessly. I had it built as a headphone amp and had the maker put in speaker taps for just sort of thing. |
