Given that I don't much care for the sound of horn-based speaker systems, a number of the possible choices drop out of the equation. I have, however, heard several of the higher-priced models in the Coincident Technology speaker line driven by low-powered SET's and the like, and I was quite impressed. The President and founder of Coincident (one of several excellent Canadian speaker manufacturers), Israel Blume, has a strong commitment to building efficient speakers with top-notch cabinetry.
