Best speakers under $3K for tube amps,


Best picks.
Also i'd like to know if you have a 86db speaker and has 2 midwoofers/1 tweet. And another speaker with same drivers rated 86db but is a 2 way/single midwoofer/tweet. Will the load on the tube amp be the same? Or get a better response using the 2 way speaker, thinking that the amps current is divided up less. The Tubes being KT models.

Chaz, interesting that you mention "you'd be better off with another 3db (89db effectively doubles your power)." Your last part of the sentence I fail to understand.
So just 3 db points make all that much difference. I think I'm getting this idea of db level, a hard concept for many audiophiles.

I see there is another topic about cone materials best for tubes, I'll post a note there as well.
So is you havea 3 way, MTM design, and a 2 way midwoofer/tweet design, botn using same drivers, at 87 db, will the results from a tube amp be the same in both. Which is low dynamics/little drive power.
I figured the 2 way would respond better. Nut I get the idea it is not so, the difference will be slightly better bass..
"chazzbo often has pretty good points...." Yes his typos are bad, but as you say has more to say that many others with better spelling.
Still waiting on more high sensitivity suggestions.
I thought Scan speaks were, but they rate at 87 like their cousins the seas'.
Another interesting speaker may be Cabasse's top line, with the white foam cone drivers. Anyone know the specs/sound response?
A little known line in the USA, made in france.
I found the Cabasse Jersey better than the spendor 8 the other day. Spendor8/$3100, Jersey/$1100.
Horn designs are wayyyy to big to my taste. My Thors blend into any size room. Even in a small room their presence do not attack you.
