| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp @lowtubes , I just did some googling and those have (what seem to my untrained mind) some interesting specs. 15 ohm/minimum of 12 ohm impedance, but sensitivity rated down at 82.5. | |

| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp @immatthewj Yes. The amp I'm using makes 5 Watts at full power. It has no problems driving the speaker at all.

| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! @jayctoy , I have a couple of test CDs (at least a couple) with the in phase/out of phase track on it. I don’t have a real good grasp of this stuff, but the more I think about it, I do not think that this is quite the same thing. I believe that ... | |

| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! Iammatthewj, I will try the inverted phase on my SA10 see what happen.My Krell krc3 can be inverted as well, I think. @jayctoy , it seems to me that as far as phase goes, there can only be one way that is right and then that the other way mus... | |

If I decided to bu... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp @atmasphere , which Fritz speakers do you have? I use a set of the Fritz loudspeakers (previously suggested) in a space of very similar dimensions, using a 5 Watt/channel tube amp and a powered subwoofer. |
