4 ohm speakers with tube amps?
Yes the Jadis page does say somthing about the fact that even though tube amps are "known" for the problem driving low impedence speakers, not so with their amp design. Though i don't expect the output to be the same as with 6 to 8 ohm speakers. A...

DIY Speakers, worth the hassles?
Like i said i believe and am confident that the Excel High Edition is the best speaker for the money, well worth the hassel to import from Germany. Alot less than most commercials, so well worth the gamble.

DIY Speakers, worth the hassles?
Ake , i'm not sure what you mean about shipping??? Well yes i'm paying the $100 shipping fee. But this 3 way, what price tag can you put on it, if sold in your local "hi-fi" shop??? Something like $10-$15K, maybe. The big commercials may be bigger...

What are the "best" DYNAMIC speakers available?
IF the Harmonic Precision were such a speaker, i believe at least half the Audiogon members would have one in their homes. One little question...how much? 
What are the "best" DYNAMIC speakers available?
Bigtee sums it up quite nicely. I've heard 6 big name speakers, all way over priced. So i hope we have less "best speaker" threads and more research on previous threads. It's all there, every speaker has been reviewed here on Audiogon. I will say ...
