| How to get I think as a general guideline highly efficient and easy to drive speakers are going to sound less compressed and more dynamic at lower volumes. That means a 4 ohm floorstander is probably not going to fit the bill. Monitor speakers are inherently... | |
| Looking for CDP/ss amp 3K each I am selling a Musical Fidelity KW500 for a friend that lost his job that fits your needs. Musical Fidelity is often paired with B&W and my friend was using 802's with it. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more As Ralph suggested in an earlier post for another speaker a GM70 based dehavilland could probably swing it too, but it appears anything less than the most powerful SET may not do the trick with those. | |

| Streaming or long interconnect for better sound? You might look into a Logitech Transporter. It uploads files wirelessly from your PC into a buffer and then plays them. It does not stream which I think is something you want to avoid. It has a good DAC in it or you can add an external Dac. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more As Tvad says no problem. Those speakers were made for 8w 300b amps. I'd have no hesitation. | |

Early in the thread I set a limit of 92db at 6ohms minimum so as not to exclude anything on the cusp. However I think most of us would agree 92db is not really high efficiency. I ... | |

| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more I was only in the large room then, and they were blaring something pretty loud. I think it was Van Halen. I don;t have anything against Van Halen or ZZ Top but hard rock makes up a small part of my listening these days. I recently had some Harbeth... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more You are correct on Tonian. The 12.1 w/ copper voice coils are $11,900.I'm totally lost on the Audio Note models and prices. I just can't make heads or tails of them. perhaps I'll call Audio Federation which is who displayed them at RMAF. It seems ... | |
