The Soliloquy 5.3's are exceptional speakers from my experience. The fit and finish is A-1. I bought a pair about 5 months ago in maple and they just keep getting better. They do require a long break in. Alan at Audiowaves is a dealer and seems very knowledgeable. I didn't get mine from him but the stuff I did get was good as well. You can call him at 800-510-4753. Good luck.
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,
