What's the Best Speakers use with the CAT JL2/SL1?

Ken Stevens at Cat has a pair of VSM MXs ordered.

It's an understatement to say that I'm using CAT JL-1's quite successfully with Soundlab M1's. At a very understated 100W each, these monoblocks control the -- difficult to drive -- M1's superbly.

The JL3's have replaced the JL1's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the JL1 (and JL3) put out more than 100 watts. The JL2 stereo amplifier is rated at 100 watts per channel, which incidentally is plenty to drive current production Sound Labs, while of course JL3's or JL3 Signatures are that much beefier.

Brian, I purchased my JL-1's used from a local audio dealer (non-CAT). He advised the 100 watt specification.

Additionally, a web reviewer -- http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Amplifiers.html -- also advises the 100 watt rating.

Because I don't have a manual for the JL-1’s, and Ken Steven's web site -- http://www.convergentaudio.com/products.htm -- is not fully operational, I certainly can't advise or find out the correct wattage. Perhaps someone that knows for sure, will be kind enough to do so -- I would certainly like to know.

Nevertheless, the JL-1’s drive the Soundlabs with aplomb. Moreover, a contributor to the aforementioned web reviewer site advises his JL-2 does a great job.

Mike, convergentaudio.com is NOT the domain of Convergent Audio Technology. That domain is owned by someone in Florida, not by Ken Stevens. An official CAT website is being worked on, I am told.
