Recommended speakers for Shindo Cortese

I had the Devore Super 8s, lovely speakers really, but I found them a tad inefficient for my 15wpc Montille. Particularly in the bass. I've since bought a pair of Coral Beta 8s, these were discontinued in the 80s I believe, but have built up a cult following. They are 101dB and the previous owner had custom transmission line cabinets built for them. At first I thought they were really bright, but after a few dozen hours they've settled down. I now love them, they are incredibly dynamic and they really get match well with Shindo gear. They get the tonality and emotion of the music really well. No regular multi-driver speakers sound so bland when I listen to them. You're gonna love them!

This is the only problem with the CB8’s, too high sensitivity. Too forward a Midrange band, and so bass is cut short. Highs no doubt were fantastic, The DavidLouis VX8 has corrected this imbalance with a near perfect 95db sensitivity, 94db would have been perfect. The DLVX6 is 93db. Pairing with the DLVX8, 92 would have been the better. Hey only off 1 db sens on both,, nothing is perfect in this world.

I had good outcomes running my Shindo gear into Quad 2805 ESL speakers.  Actually EXCELLENT outcomes...... 

Jump on HORNING for best sound with that preamp.

That would be a very, very slow jump over a 12 year period.
