Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.

I don’t have the Cary yet, maybe Monday. Current speakers are Magnepan 3.7i with a Hegel H390 integrated.

I'll try the Cary, but I'm afraid it won't be up to the task.

86db/4 ohms? Maybe not, but still, in push-pull 40 wpc triode, I do not think that you need as judicious with efficiency as you would need to be if you were buying speakers for a 15 wpc SET rig.

I've got my eye on the volti razz. I was hoping to hear them at axpona next week, but Greg says he's not going to be there this year 😥

@traudio if you are within a day drive of him I’d highly recommend making a visit. He’s a really good guy, fun to hang around with and shoot the crap. Great Mexican joint literally across the street too. I met up with him couple of months ago at the Fla. expo as he rolled out his new model, the Lucera. Best room for me, listening to some good music on the new model powered by Boarder Patrol, a show highlight for sure.

He's an 8hr drive from me. Maybe later this year when the wife is off for the summer.

. . . for more on the triode versus ultralinear subject, I did a search on this site (using that as a search engine). The results were like every other audio subject/debate here: no 100% consensus. As I typed previously, it’s easy to go back & forth and decide for yourself, but I can see your point--if you are selecting speakers based on which setting you’d like to use , I guess you’d probably like to have an idea what each setting will do for you (before you buy the speakers). Anyway, here are the search results I found in case you are interested in what others on the site had to say about the subject:
