30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting?


My recent amp has led me to want to downsize my setup. My Sophia II’s can be handled by the amp but I wonder what would I look at if I downsized the speakers to prepare for a life less crowded by heavy equipment. NOTE: The amp inspires me to believe I am hearing the very best music of my life < 70 watts.

I am using some GPA 604 to a Luxman 590 II. It’s a good combo within the speaker limitations.

Strengths of the speakers are dynamics, efficiency and tonality. Weakness are large box size, the need for subs and not the greatest high frequency extension. I have had other speakers in the system and to this point the Altecs are still here. Mostly I love the teakwood vintage cabinets they are housed in. 

I have used tubes in the past and someday may return. But for now the Lux integrated is a good combo of sound, power and versatility. 
Whoo-hoo I can use my 30 watt output (330 watt) class A heater again it’s turned winter!  With a radiator like this who needs central heat, hah!
