Speakers that are good with tubes


I have see several recommendations against tube amps powering certain speakers. But which speakers are known to really like time amps, especially high powered tube amps?

Spatial Audio Lab X5s and X3s. High efficient, open baffle speakers you can drive with 2 plus watt tube amps. 

I use Klipsch Cornwalls with a 45 SET amp............. about 1-1/2 watts.

Couldn't be happier!

Aacoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll.  They hold steady at 6 ohms for almost every frequency.  Not sure of another speaker that comes so close to being the perfect speaker for a tube amp.  Huge power is not required.

 

Find speakers you like , then the tube amplifier! If you buy a 10 watt amp you are restricting your choice of speaker, massively. I tried for years finding high sensitivity speaker I liked, never found one. I use Audio Physic 89dB 4 ohms, with 40 watt amp, actually all listening done in better 22 watt configuration, more than enough power.
