Check out Soliloquy...http://solspeak.com/ I have Soliloquy 5.3's, which until recently were their largest model. I am using Cary 300sei and 2A3 amps. I also have in the same room Mangnepan 1.6's and B&W' CDM SE-1. The Soliloquys were designed specifically for SET amps and have great balance and imaging and good bass ( I do not use my sub with them) The new model (6.3 maybe) is larger yet. I have seen it, but not had it in my listening room. The 5.3's are only $2000, they are rated class B by Stereophile. Not sure of price on the new larger model, but believe it is between $2500-$3000. Have not seen any reviews yet. Fit and finish (most exotic finishes, I have a pair made in special order black ash) are second to nothing in the industry, at any price. They also have the absolute best spiking system I have ever seen. I would recommend you audition for sure before making any buying decision.
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,
