The best speaker would be line arrays, hand built by you. If you want to buy speakers, take a look at the Legacy Focus. The speaker is efficient, and rocks!

Sonic Frontiers power 2? There is no pace or toe tapping to that amp. It's a fine amp but there is no drive to it.

To put it in perspective have you hear a 100% Linn system? Linn would be about 180 degrees from your amp.

You will need to take home many, many speakers to get any drive out of the Sonic Frontiers power 2. It's a beautiful amp, pretty well balanced but a picky eater that does'nt want to drag a lot of dead weight around.

You might want to try a hybrid horn speaker that will give you a strong dynamic and volume too. Klipsh?
To put it in perspective............Yioryos, before you flame someone read what hey wrote, and try to see the intend. I'll number it for you.

1. From what I've heard of the SF-2, it aint got no rhythm.

2. I don't know it all, but Asonicyouth should get lucky if he/she auditions enough speakers.

3. I do not advocate S.S. (such a Linn) because despite the speed and rhythm S.S. has no soul (and not a lot of center image/sound stage either).

4. I don't know why all the critics loved the Sonic Frontiers power 2 so much, but I must assume they were better at milking the best out of it (balancing act), or at least did a better job than my local stereo shop. Example, I called the shop ahead of time so they could warm up the amps - they did not, I stayed an hour the sound did not get better. Keep working at it (with this amp), and you might succeed at your audio nirvana.
