Another speaker worth auditioning is the Alon Lotus SE(14 ohm woofer version) $3700/new, which I use with an Atma-Sphere S30 (30 watts/ch) OTL with grat results. I'll also second the Coincident speakers recomendation. The Reference 3a speaker also would work well and sounds great, but it may not play loud enough in your room to suit you.
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.
