Looking for speakers to go with Graaf OTL-20 amp -


I'm looking for a pair high-efficiency (8-ohm, with SPL @ 93-db or higher) that don't look like "Darth Vador" to go with my Graaf OTL 20 amp (20-wpc), Graaf 13-B pre-amp and Copland CDA-289 as front-end.

The problem is, starting next month I'll be in my new apartment where the living-room (where I listen) and the kithen are in the same rectangular contiguous space and therefore making it a rather large room, about 35' by 19' with 10' ceilings.

The stuff I listing to these days can be categorized as loungy or electronic (ie: Theivery Corp., Bhudha-Bar etc.) as well as vocals and classical. I also like listening on the louder side.

The bugdet is around $3000 (used) -- any & all recommendations are much appreciated.

I did addition the "Classic" by Red-Rose, they're just wonderful sounding speakers but a bit out of my league at the moment -- $8000 (new).

Thanks.

Hi Jewel, Coincident has a new speaker called the Victory that is 97db 14-ohm that should work great with the Graaf. I have not heard this speaker but I own the Coincident Totals which are 3db less efficient than the Victory. I get very good results with a 12 watt amp so I would think that your 20 watts would should be more than sufficient.
Good hunting.
