speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve


I had started a thread asking about speakers that are well designed for tube amps (I am currently using a Ming Da MC 34AB with 8 EL34 power tubes 75 wt/ch ultralinear; 40 wt/ch Class A).
There has been a consistent recommendation for efficient speakers with a "smooth impedance curve".

Any recommendations out there for some tower speakers in the less than $5000 price range with smooth impedance curves that are "tube friendly"?

Trelja,

I tend to agree with your point regarding excess energy in the presence region - sometimes it seems to me that it's almost ubiquitous in high end loudspeaker designs. But... I've never particularly associated this with models that cross to the tweeter at any particular frequency. It's always seemed more universal.

I'm not familiar with some of the technical issues at work here and therefore don't follow your point re: impedence rise vs. crossover frequency. Is this rise associated with the crossover network itself or do you refer to some other phenomenon?

Thanks in advance.

Marty
