Living Voice for Shindo?

I run my IBX R2's with a 24watt 300b amp. Living Voice suggests at least 20 tube watts. I never run my amp more than 1/3rd throttle in my 20 x 12 listening space. I don't think you'd be getting much out of your LV speakers with just 15watts, however.

Bshapperd,,

May I ask what amp you’re using?

"From my experience I can tell that such a combination with a slightly underpowered amp can make enjoyable and relaxed music but on the long run lacks ease, authority and finally musicality if directly compared with more easy to drive speaker." Xronx- very well said, and my thoughts exactly!

I'm using the Mastersound 300b PSE integrated amp. Four power tubes for a rated 24 watts.

I've exchanged emails with Living Voice and the least they recommend is 15 watts. They suggested the compact version of the 300b Mastersound or one of New Audio Frontiers offerings.

I can't believe I can have a contribution :-)

I listened to the OBX-R2 and OBX-RW at Living Voice headquarters in Long Eaton. Needless the attention they gave me was exquisite. So, I encourage anyone interested to give them a visit, very very good attention.

Now, coming back to the thread. I listened to the OBX-R2 and OBX-RW in a really big room with an upgraded Trafomatic Experience Two which is just 8Watts SET, and an Italian push-pull of 15Watts. Well, I much preferred the 8Watts Trafomatic and power was more than enough to go deaf if crancked to the maximum level. I was completely shocked 8Watts could have such a control of an speaker.

I repeat, the room was pretty big and the 8Watts of the Trafomatic were better than the 15Watts of the push-pull. It was for me a great learning experience.
