Tube Friendly Speakers

These may not be as esoteric as some would like but I think KEF reference series are "just right" for tubes. I'm using the Ref-III.2 with my ARC VT-100 and am extremely satisfied. The Ref series is fairly high output, 90 db give or take, and has a purposely flattened impedence (which glow-bottles love!). Ref-IIs can be had for around $2200 online.

i'm a big fan of Spendors when match with tubes, but not so much the newer line. look for a used pair of 7/1's, 1/2's or 2/3's - you'll be amazed!

Some Silverline products could be on your list

Find a used pair of B&W P Series. P4, P5, or P6. P5 probably the best. I know of people using them with great results with the Decware Zen(??) amp that is less than 10 watts I believe.

I bought my Triangle Titus xs from Alan at Audiowaves,
www.audioshopper.com/audiowaves. He has a generous return policy, he discounts Triangle(his catalog says $1595 for the Antal) and he provides free shipping and great service from a brick and mortar store. The Triangles are a bargain in hi-end speakers and work great with tubes according to everything I've ever read or heard on the subject. Give Alan a call. BTW, he also carries Soliloquy, and tube gear. He should be able to give you a good opinion of the pairings.
