Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs?


Ever since I discovered the magic of SETs, I have been hooked and could never go back to “sand amps” or non SET tube amps. (Yes, I know they are dirty and colored but I love the soft clipping!) The seemingly endless problem has been finding speakers that not only function well with just a few watts of power but get the most out of the limited power and also sound real. Tried Lowthers in Medallion enclosures and some other enclosures but ultimately not very natural or satisfying. Realized that a two way speaker properly crossed over to a tweeter was best and found a speaker that was specifically designed to play with 8 300B watts. The Tetra 506s (worth checking out Tetraloudspeakers.com and the great musicians who use them!). Does anyone know other two way speakers designed to work well with SETs?

With a 10k budget you should consider the Charney Audio Companion with Voxativ drivers. Charney is located in Somerset central NJ. If your close by contact Charney for a demo.  Well worth it.

The Charney Voxativ speakers are very interesting. Looks like the cheapest way to get into the fabulous Voxativs!                                   
Yes the Charney’s are cost effective versus the Voxativ offerings. Here's a little secret Charney sounds way better at 1/3 the cost! I had the opportunity to listen to the Charney Companion with  Voxativ AF2.6 drivers against the Ampeggio. No contest! The Companion bettered the Ampeggio in every area! 
If you can swing it and your room is large enough the AC2.6 is the way to go.  The 8” driver will give you more all the way around.
