High efficiency desktop speakers
Hello,
As the title suggests I am looking for a pair of high efficiency desktop speakers. 95dB/watt at 8+ ohms is good, but if I can find speakers that are 98dB/watt at 8+ ohms or even higher sensitivity that would be even better based on the amp I will use to drive them. The amp is a custom made hybrid using 6sn7 and 6j5 tubes. I am using a Sonnet Morpheus DAC and Sonnet Hermes streamer, this will be for a streaming only system. My listening is all over the board as I like great recordings but I mostly listen to rock, jazz, female vocals, the Dead, and deep house music with a bit of opera and classical mixed in. Not looking to add a sub but have a small SVS if needed. Budget is 2K or less. I appreciate your help.

I would not limit your search based upon published sensitivity specs. Check out this review of a pair pf 90dB rated speakers (towards the end where they are powered by DH/SET 2A3 amplification - plus your speakers will be used in the near-field). I've been looking for a pair of the AN's for years now. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue20/audionoteax2.htm DeKay |
