I have a LM audio 216ia and Tekton Double Impact SE speakers which are very sensitive. The combo is clear and can be loud. I didn't know if I would like a lowered powered tube amp and 4 ohm speakers... but I really do. I would try the lower powered LM audio amp and sensitive speakers that can be driven with a lower watt amp. Just my two cents...
Line Magnetic 219ai plus + LM512 or LM 523PA + LM512
I have amp LM-508ia for 4 years and I am most satisfy with him.
I would like to upgrade my amp and maybe speakers
I have Spendor A4 speakers 86db sensitivity so LM-508ia with 2X48W is good match to it.
I am evaluating two options:
Option 1 – LM-523PA + LM-512
Option 2 – LM-219ia plus and lather on LM-512 – In this option I think I will have to find speakers with 90db sensitivity.
Option 2 is more easier to accomplish (because of the starting price) but I am a little concern that it will not be much more better than the 508 that I have with excellent tubes it sound lovely.
I really appreciate to receive your opinion which option will be most suited for the long run?
Which kind of speakers you recommend along with your recommend option.
Thank you
