If you can give a listen to the Cabasse speakers from France. I dont want to do any hype because I currently have a pair for sale. If there is a dealer in your area, you wont be sorry. Highly recommended.
Hi Sensitivity Speakers for SE Triodes
I'm looking for speakers which mate well with SE Triode amps. I'd like the speakers to be reference quality; however, I'm not willing to spend over $6000 (used) or around $8000 (new). I'm currently using Avalon Eclipse speakers which I love, but they are too insensitive and difficult to drive (86dB sensitive, 6ohm nom, 5.5ohm min, but fairly complex phase angle) for experimentation with SE triodes. I listen to orchestral, jazz, blues, and some rock/pop so the speakers need to be fairly sensitive to mate with Cary 805C's or some of the 15-20 watt SE Triodes I'm considering. Thanks,
