Favorite Tube Speaker Match

Two arguements - paper is too dark for tubes, and actually metal cones give some life to the music that isn't there otherwise. Arguement two: the smooth rich sound of paper cones always is a cut above.

Has anyone ever heard ceramic cones with a tube amp? If so what were the components?

Anyone have a favorite combo they have heard? I heard an Airtight with Opera Piega which I thought could not be beat.

for a different spin, I find electrostats like my ESL-63's with a Berning EA-230 triode amp, a match made in heaven.

i have had all materials, and paper sounds the best to my ears. I have used tube amps from McIntosh, Dynaco, Berning, SET's, PP, you name them, and the I just am drawn at how natural and dynamic in a good way the paper drivers sound.

I dont think the material that makes the magnet is as impoartant as people wants us to believe. I also had all kinds of magnet types..ainico, ceramic, neo...etc

Well, My favourite combo is Bozak B-410's driven by a Berning EA-230 triode amp. After that comes EV12trxb's driven by 2A3 SET's.
