+1 on Zu Audio speakers. I was lucky enough to get a pair of the fully uprgraded Dirty Weekends from the last and final run. (Caveat—during pandemic w/shortages I waited 9months) These show up for sale now again, but Sean over at Zu says they’ll bring a similar product to market soon. When your wife, who normally wishes you would “keep it down”, says, “whoa! I’ve never heard that before in this piece!” Or “these sound closer to “live” than I’ve ever heard!”, you’re onto something. I normally push them with a peachtree Nova 150. However, given they’re high sensitivity, playing with other amps has been a lot of fun as well as instructive in the hobby. …but with the nova and the ODWs I can run everyone out of the house and get the neighbors upset.😅 best of luck! dgc |
@alphonsodamato : High efficiency makers (>95 db) - wide range of prices. All made in North America or have dealers in North America (one or two exceptions) Would also focus on impedance - with these sort of speakers should be able to have 8 or 6 ohms. Would not buy a 4 ohm speaker At 90 - 95db sensitivity, there are additional brands not mentioned below (which your amp would easily drive, if the speaker is 8 or 6 ohms) Caintuck (open baffle, mostly) Classic Audio Coherent Audio Creation Audio (Australia, however) Cube Audio Daedalus Fern & Roby Fleetwood Sound ($) Goodwin Speakers Lii Audio NSMT Ocellia (France, $) Omega Speakers (mentioned above) Pure Audio Project (open baffle) Spatial (open baffle) Zu (The Salks and Ascends mentioned above seem to be of pretty ordinary efficiency, unless I am missing something. Left out Klipsch because of large footprint. I may have left out something mentioned above it’s by accident) Fun question - let us know as you start to narrow things down, would be great to hear your thinking! Have a great day |
