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?

When I had my Focal Diablo Utopia III's, they loved my PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP amp . . . It was a very good match.

If you like the sound of Maggies, but don't want or can't afford a 300 watt tube amp, look into the Eminent Technology LFT-8. Like Maggies, the LFT employs planar-magnetic drivers. Unlike the Maggies, the LFT is a tube-friendly loudspeaker, it's modulus of impedance 8 ohms and above. And if you bi-amp (two pair of binding posts are provided: one for the p-m drivers---180Hz up, another for the woofer), the impedance of the panels is 11 ohms, even better for tube amps. 

Klipsch KG 4s are a winning hand with tube amps. I sold mine and do miss them now even though I have a set of Klipsch Fortes I and its little brother the Quartets.
