Normie- The nominal impedance of 8 ohms is OK but the minimum of 3.2 is not ideal for a tube amp. Could not find an impedance w frequency graph to see how severe the curve is or what frequency the minimum is at, or if the published sensitivity is realistic. I found that 30-40 WPC tube amps could drive my 89 DB Merlins just fine, but they had a very flat impedance curve @ 6 ohm nominal. Maybe AudioMirror offers a return policy? Be aware that the 6C33C tubes run VERY HOT. Great sound but VERY VERY HOT. I would not use them around young children or in a hot climate unless you have cheap power and good A/C.
Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300
I am looking for a great speaker match for my Wavac MD-300 stereo amplifier at 8 WPC. A friend recommended a brand I am not familiar with, Stein Music SP 1.1,
using a carefully developed single driver, almost full range. I would appreciate any comments about this brand if familiar and also thoughts on single driver full range vs high sensitivity multi driver loudspeakers such as Coincident Speaker Technology, to match with my low power SET amplifier.
Thanks to all contributors in advance!
