What are best speakers for VTL 125 amps and 90dB ?

Using Vandersteen 2C's for Rock and Jazz primarily. Keep on wrecking the 2C's at high 80's, low 90's dB. Any speaker suggestions?

The VTL 125 is rated at 130 watts in tetrode mode. To theoretically gain 6 dB more headroom, you'd need to go up to 780 watts. Your speakers couldn't handle that. So let's take a look at possibly changing speakers. The Vandersteens are rated at 86 dB. In order to gain 6 dB more headroom, you'd need 92 dB efficient speakers, which are not hard to find. Going in that direction is a much more practical solution, imho. Duke
