I looked at that Buchardt site and those S400 speakers look amazing. If I were doing this, I would try out the speakers and stands, you really have nothing to lose. I bet it will sound really right with 30wpc of pure Class A power. If you live in the US, I bet it would probably be under 3K. Don’t cheap out on the speakers, especially with an expensive amp like that. If you cheap out, you will become dissatisfied wityh the speakers really quick. I’ve been there and done that a few times over the years myself. It ends up costing you much more in the long run.
4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8
Hi everyone!
I am having a hard time finding book shelf speakers that run in 4 ohm (or 6 maybe?). Before I seriously consider the Pass Labs 30.8, I need to at least know what kind of speakers to listen to, price them out, etc. I am just now building a system and have no speakers, but I see it looks like the 30.8 is ideal for not that many speakers (from what I can see). Google didn't help much. I live in an apartment, and the room I have isn't ideal for floor speakers, and is perfect for a lower watt amp, I'd rather pay for quality over power I won't use!. Bass from floor speakers could also be an issue so I'd rather not even entertain that idea. If 4 ohm and small speaker don't really go together, I will consider the 150.8 instead.
Many have said "Any 4 ohm speaker", but being able to find a 4ohm book shelf has left me with not much, so far.
If this isn't really in the cards (small speakers and 4ohm), feel free to be blunt. Save me time. :)
So here is what I have found so far. Any others?
