Try to stay with ones whose impedance does not go too low and who can be driven by your amp. You can check this by looking at their rated efficiency. Each 3db increase in output requires doubling the power. But the choice is very wide and will depend on personal preference. Spendors work well with tubes as do many others.
moving coil speaker for tubes
hi, who makes a good speaker that works with tubes ? I am talking about pushpull tube amps, rogue audio m150 monos. 150 wpc . I really like the sound of revel speakers, they are very open sounding and low distortion which is good, but it is not an ideal match with tubes. what out there would work well ? there seems to be lots of speakers made for single ended tube amps, but most of these that I have heard are very colored sounding. any sugestions would be much help ! thanks, chris

You've got the right idea- take a look at http://www.atma-sphere.com/papers/paradigm_paper2.html for more information. Good choices include (but are not limited to) Audiokinesis, Merlin, Coincident Technology, Ref3A, High Emotion Audio, Ridge Street Audio, Vandersteen, Wilson... If in doubt look at what the designer is using. If he is into tubes, you will do well. If the designer uses transistors, I'd look elsewhere. |
