| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 I can also recommend the Tekton Lores, I'm very happy with mine. Zu Audio Omen also work well with my 2A3 amp, but I preferred the Lores. Can't really go wrong with either. I've also read others recommend 3As, Omega, and Fritz. | |

| SET sound without a lot of money I bought a "kit" from Min at Tube Audio Lab. Great guy, good to do business with. He does great work on the amps he builds as well. | |
| Speaker recommendations for small space Good suggestions above.Also take a look at Tekton Design. Their designs are very efficient (95 - 98 db) so work well with most amps.http://www.tektondesign.com/ | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode I don't think Al is mostly right. I estimate he's only 66% right. | |

| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Fusion - I have Lores in a 12 x 13' room and they do not overload. I also have a pair of Tekton Katz Meow (8" main driver)and they play great in here, too. I don't think you'll have any problems with the M-Lores being too big. FWIW - I've had Magg... | |

| Best new tube amp under $1500? You might want to look at what tube amps Carl Marchisotto recommends. | |
| Small speakers...big sound?? I heard a pair of M&D speakers, I believe they were the sapphires. I was very impressed with how much bass they put out for their size. First time I heard something so small go so low. Sounded very good. | |
| Good tube amp kit for sale these days Budget? Speakers you intend to drive?For low power SET look at Tube Audio Lab. I built one of Min's amps (he supplies parts and case) and am very happy with it. I built a 2A3 amp but he has others as well. For a kit I built the Elekit TU879 that p... | |
| Why do you Pick a Certain Speaker producer? 12-11-11: Bizango1Sebrof, I guess you like cats. We have two. My wife likes them."Tried and tried to make the cat connection, came up with nothing.No cats here, just a big dog. | |
| Why do you Pick a Certain Speaker producer? I don't usually listen, I first look at what spikes come with the speakers. I dunno, I just like cool spikes.Then I look at the brand name. Is it easy to spell? Does the name roll off my tounge or is it difficult to pronounce. I might listen if th... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Gooddomino - I raise the front of the speaker slightly by screwing the front spikes out. I screw a thin nut to the threads all the way, then screw the spike into the speaker (fronts 2 spikes).I don't listen while standing pretty much ever. What di... | |

Not all. Hi end when done right can be really s... |
