300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A

Read here and here.
Scroll down a little and read the discussion at the second link.

Who knows the sonics as generally as you have given the Q and if you would like it? From a power point of view... can it be tried? The two links give a decent idea. What is the speaker's sensitivity and impedance?

I've talked to folks who are happy with much less power than indicated above but I think it's about right.

I remain,

I use the Reference 3A De Capos with a pair of George Wright Mono8 (300B) mono blocks. The results are mixed. In my modestly proportioned listening space (18' x 13') there is never any amp clipping. The 92db speakers play plenty loud. I also love the gentler highs and the gorgeous midrange of this amp/speaker combination. Small ensembles and human voices are exquisite. Late night listening to choral works and jazz combos give me goose bumps.

The problem is the bass. This (maybe all) combination of a non-feedback amp and a vented speakers creates a wooly and ill-defined bass. For instance, I find it hard to distinguish the low notes on a bass violin, the walking bass on so many jazz, rock, and pop albums. The same speakers matched with a push-pull EL34 amp have thunderous bass (for a monitor, anyway) but of course the midrange suffers. Compromises, compromises. I switched from the 8ohm to the 4ohm tap on the amp and the added damping helped a bit, but I still miss the tight bass I know the De Capos can reproduce.

I have heard the Ref 3A de CAPOS with low powered SETs at shows, which are horrible conditions. However, based on that we took on the line.
