good speakers matches for jolida 302b


Trying tubes out for the first time and am looking for anyone who has advice or has matched the jolida 302b with a particular speaker and thoughts or recommendations. Looking to spend $1,200 to $1,600 for the speakers. Front end is a Rega Planet with Kimber 8tc cable. My musical taste are all over the place. Thanks

I'm sorry, but the Totem Arro is the best match so far that I have ever encountered with the Jolida 302B. And, as anyone here knows me, I am definitely the biggest Jolida 302B supporter on this site. The combination is capable of loud music.

As far as placing speakers close to the rear wall, that is normally a better situation with a front ported speaker, which the Coincident is not. The Von Schweikert VR1 is also in the same boat, as is the Soliloquy.

On the other hand, front ported speakers have a tendency to REALLY annoy me ala "chuffing" of the port. But, nothing is absolute.

I do like Raguirre's suggestion of Triangle...
The level at which you listen to music will be a factor in how far you need the Sols from the rear wall.If not at ear bleeding levels the Sols do fine 24 inches from the rear wall and maybe less depending on your listening habits.I have 6.3s 24 inches off the rear wall and 11 ft apart..I'am not having any bass or imaging problems.Any speaker you get.. you will have to play with it until it sounds right to your ears.

Good Luck!
Check out the OSKARS. All three models work great with Jolida gear and other low power tube amps. Yes I am the US distributor so I am biased but everybody needs to know about these speakers or they are missing out on something truly special. Go to www.precide.ch for info.
I am using Green Mountain Europas with a Jolida 302B with excellent results. You can use the money you save on speakers to get a capacitor and tube upgrade for your 302B.
