Speaker match for Jolida JD 202?


I will start out admitting I am a novice. I always thought a good amp and good speakers equal a good system…so I guess I need some help.

Don’t ask me why, but I want to go tube. I was thinking about the JD 102b, but I got nervous about having to spend extra dough on some sensitive speakers, I figured why not spend the extra $200 on the JD 202.

I am on a tight budget (unlike so many of you at this site!): around $500 – $600 (or so) for speakers that sound well with a JD 202.

I am also open to suggestions for any other similar system that could keep me from getting kicked out of the house (under $1500).

PS - does anyone know anything about Morel speakers (build your own)? I have the abilty to build some decent boxes (Right now I am using some SpeakerLabs I built about 17 years ago).

klipsch floor standing models- sf1; f10; sound great with the 102 or 202. jolida amps are real nice for the price. should cost more. i have a pair of advent 6003s- a 3 way speaker. rare and few know much about them. best sounding speakers i have ever heard. i am sure there are better, but the best i have ever heard. those will take a 10 to 150 w amp. i run a jd202 with those, and sometimes with the klipsch. 202 hooked up to the advents and play jeff beck blow by blow up loud- crack of the snare drum and i took cover. thought there were gun shots. on a budget look at both klipsch and jolida. if you need or want an impressive name tag and are on a budget you will never be happy. simple. look at some vintage scott tube amps.
