300B for LS3/5A?


I would like to ask LS3/5A owners, has anyone tried using 8 watts 300b amp to drive the 11 ohms Rogers ls3/5A which has only 82db sensitivity!

Will run them but best to match loudspeakers to amp at 11ohm great but 82db 1 watt. Your at the bottom end or far past of what a SET can drive. Might be great for nearfield but dynamic range will suffer. If your sold on the wee BBC monitors and SET look for a 845 or other higher power SET. I see many running loudspeakers that are at the xtreme of what a SET can drive most give up on SET after. Or on forum they go saying SETs distort, have no bass,can not produce much SPL etc etc. Best to SET ;0 up system right from the start. Make sure amp loudspeakers are a good match.
