Need a smaller, efficient floorstander


I've owned quite a few larger floor standing speaker systems and would like to buy a smaller, efficient, yet reference quality speaker system to be driven by medium powered tube amps. Any suggestions?

Ucmgr,

I would suggest you listen to Coincident Partial Eclispe II. They are small floorstanders with a lot of punch for their size and I really like the highs coming from the Revelator tweeters. I ran them with a Cary SLI-80 and was very happy.

I strongly recommend the Diapason Adamantes original
or the Adamantes III.This are beautiful and musical.

I used to be in the biz, and would visit Joule Electra. Judd usually shared a room with Bobby. One day Judd asked me what I thought, and I told him I was not impressed. Judd said, a lot of people say that

Now, I am a open-baffle fan. I’ve owned a lot of speakers both box and 3 different open baffle designs, whose sound stages are magical; Accoustat 2 + 2s, Magnepans, and for the last 2+ years Emerald Physics, which play everything really well


There is a pair of EP 2.7s at a crazy good price in the Agon classifieds
