Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp
I think the impedance is more significant than the efficiency. If you plan to continue using a tube amp.   
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I owned a VAC Phi 100 I believe and was very happy. I thought the sensitivity was too high. An excellent amp but seemed to share a similar sound with other push-pull designs using the same power tubes I have heard or owned. Never had an issue. Kev...

An instrument creates sound. A speaker reproduces sound. Pretty simple really.  The Stereophile excerpt is copy. Do you think Fremer or Atkinson would give a Harbeth the same review as Dudley? What about the glowing reviews of a "dead" speakers l...

Just voicing my opinion. Believe it or not, the post you first commented on was listed to help, but evidently it served as a trigger. Take some time and find your safe place.

Simple fact that the energy dissipates by vibrating the cabinet which creates coloration through resonance. Now if you like this type of sound then more power to you, but I believe that speaker cabinets should be inert with only the sound of the d...

At last someone mentions the cabinets. In my opinion, the thin walled, "lossy" cabinets used on the Harbeths is a major detriment. I think this applies to all speakers with this type of construction. The designer offers an explanation as to why th...

Only you and a few others have pointed out my posts as interpersonally challenged. And, surprise, these were all DeVore owners. Put criticism of the components you own in the proper perspective. Your speakers are not your children, hell they arent...

So what tone and attitude would you suggest? Dont tell me you appreciate the information and then voice your displeasure at the delivery. So tired of this passive-aggressive nonsense. Simply admit that you dont appreciate my opinion because it run...

We spent a great deal of time listening to the O/96s with single and parallel 300B SET amps and these did not have nearly enough power. The speakers opened up with about 30 watts plus and decided that the best sound came from a pair of 60W OTL mon...

I reread your original post and I think you are proceeding on an erroneous assumption. First I hate it when people say that one speaker is better with a certain genre of music than another. This makes absolutely no sense. Other than output levels,...

For the money, I would get the O/93s. I think they are more cohesive and balanced. I noticed little to no difference in efficiency. Fred, thanks for the comment. No problems on my end.

No dynamic speaker can reproduce transients like a capable horn system. If they could this would be the most significant reason to abandon horns altogether. In fact it is the far superior dynamic/transient capabilities of horn based speakers that ...

I would be happy to list my system but am not spending hours trying to figure this out on Agon.

Yes I am a dealer. Should be obvious by my name. Also should be noted in my profile and if not then my mistake. I dont proof my posts so errors in spelling are possible. Show me in any of my posts where I suggest you buy a product I sell as an alt... 
Tonearm Mfg's mistake
I own a Freikert and am done for the rest of my days. A good investment.
