Silverline Sonatina's or Coincident Victory...


I have a low powered 2A3 SET, I need some efficiency. Anyone who has listened to both of these? They are the usual suspects when it comes to efficiency. And explain one more thing....arent we violating a law of physics (conservation of energy) with these speakers? How can 3 watts drive 4 drivers and still produce a good amount of bass? It would seem that the cones of the speakers take up a finite amount of energy. It is like driving a car at 60mph with a lawn mower engine. The Victory's are rated at 97DB, how is that possible....thanks....Mark

The efficiency is obtained with better magnets "motors", cabinet loading and design. The efficiency is not magic it is based on sound engineering. I have listened to the Silverline line only briefly, so I am not a good judge. I am very familiar with the Coincidents. The victory needs at least 300hrs, Mr blume says they need at least 400hrs before you can really listen to the speaker. I own the Total Victory, picture a Victory with four 8 inch woofers on the side and taller. I have listened to the Victory, it is a wonderfull speakers specially with tubes. I heard it with a 300b's, about 8 watts. I am sure they will sound good with a 2A3, but I think a little more power would be needed for a full orchestra at room filling levels.

In a smaller room and at lower volume levels it should suffice. This comes from someone who has no expirience with 2A3 amps. So take it with a grain of salt.

Good luck in your search.
