Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice


First post here, so hello! I've been scanning the archives on this and found some good info, but wanted to start some new discussion.

I am a budding audiophile, just building my first good system. These days I listen mainly to acoustic based singer songwriter rock (John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Mraz, etc.) but have very diverse musical tastes from classic rock stuff (Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Neil Young) to some modern british stuff (i.e. Coldplay). A little classical here and there, but likely more so with the new system.

I love the tube sound, likely because of my long admiration for tube guitar amps (I play) and have settled on the Jolida JD302B as my amp. I will most likely be purchasing the Jolida Tube Cd player as well.

I initially was considering B&W 602 S3's, but my reading suggests that they may not be effecient enough. Thus I have been looking into the Triangle Titus speakers. I will likely add a sub in the next several months to round out the bottom end.

What else should I look into? Is there a "minumim" level of effeciency that I should be looking into?

Thanks and pardon any nephyte mistakes I've made.

I have Pilotboy. In fact, I think that on one occasion, I believe it was perhaps the best combination for each of the components I have ever heard.

You want to talk about soundstaging??? Most audiophiles can't even dream about how good this combination was firing out of the room's corner. Overall, it was not the last word in refinement or bass, but I think I could live happily with the sound.
I have the 302b and the jd100 cd player. I use the Soliloquy 5.0 with the dedicated stands and am very happy with the sound. Contact Underwood HiFi - Walter offers some great deals on the Soliloquy speakers - as well as the Jolida products for that matter.
I use the Jolida 502B modded by Underwood and have a pair of Totem Signature 1s in a 12 X 12 room. The sound is what forced me to get rid of my Krells and WWPs in my large room and buy tubes all round - that's how good it is!
Maybe you can pick up a pair of Sig 1s for close to your price.
You have to listen to them! They are absolutely amazing little boxes - and I have had Proac 1s in this room - this is even better - bigger soundstage and great vocals.
