16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp

Suggest experimenting with the drivers and various OB/cabinet configurations (with amplification available) before investing in a "long term" amplifier.

May be that you prefer something different than the Fertin's.

I've used gobs of SS & tube amps with many single driver speakers and the amplification choice, though important, is not of a first order priority.

If you like the sound of the speakers, then go from there.

Well, diyhifisupply.com has a few kits. Hagerman in the US has others. Look at JPO's site, you'll find many refs.
But again, I cannot agree more with d-k: attack the spkrs for now, the amp can come later. Enjoy!

I have to give my thumbs up for the Eastern Electric Minimax power amp. I've got one in my system* driving my newly acquired Avanti IIIs from the 4 ohm outputs. For an 8 watt amp, it really has a surprising control of the big Audiophysics - everything I could really want for reasonable in-room listening volumes. A bit of an audiophile bargain. And I'm not a dealer or distributor, just a (very) happy customer from Scotland.

Montreal Québec Canada. I got a pair of FLB20 and i have try different configurations, even free air no baffle(it is not bad at all). Definitly better ported, plus a sub. with any amp, connected dirrectly, it is magic. No driver reach that transparency an presence.I will sell them soon

Hi. I have the PHY open baffle. They sound marvellous with OTL amp, at least for my taste. cheers
