Speaker Choices for Tube Amps

I am looking for speakers that work well with a tube amp say 50 wpc. What speakers do you recommend I audition? Coincident, Silverline, other. If you have have or heard the Coincident and Silverline speakers let me know what they sound like versus each other or other speakers you compared them to.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

Big, also would suggest Living Voice speakers that sound superb with SET amps. Good Luck and let us know!

Bigkidz-

Those are great speakers. I would just find a bigger amp. Many tube amp choices for you...BAT VK75SE? CJ Premier 140? Cary?

You might seek out "Twopippis" on a'gon, as she is very familiar with the entire Talon line and could give you suggestions.

btw, you upgrade to 31SE yet? it's very, very nice and i think better than the 50se i had loaned for a weekend.

No, I have not upgrades to VK-31SE. I have been using a Pass X-1 with the Pass X-250 in balanced operation. I will do a preamp shootout earlier next year as I have been auditioning DACs over the past month. Then I plan on doing another amp shootout (probably SS) on the Ravens. I will have access to 10-12 mono blocks in the near future.

Happy Listening.
