| full range speaker suggestions Maybe Dunlavy scIII,scIV,scV or scVI would do the job you are looking for;I had scIII's driven by cary slam 100's (90 watts triode) with excellant results. | |

| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Another vote for the spica TC50's as well as sota's panorama's that were around in 1985-86 timeframe;don't know if they would compete with todays speakers like merlins but they were very nice with the right amps. |
