The KEF Q70 is within the parameters you list for speakers, and IMHO, is likely to have punchier bass and a more spatial sound if it had more power than the amp you are using. I would be looking for a more tube friendly speaker to use with a 30 watt amp, one with a higher sensitivity, and at least 8 ohm.
Buying Suggestion
Dear community,
I own an AMC CD9 and an AMC CVT3030 amp. Both have been modified and sound waaay much better than the original.
As speakers I have KEF Q70, which I believe are right now the weak part of the system and for which I am looking for an appropriate upgrade.
In principle I would like to hear a punchier, clearer bass and a more spatial sound in general.
According to my previous dealer (in Vienna, Austria - now I live in CA) for the AMC amp with ca. 2 x 30 Watt power the speakers should have between 89 and 92db sensitivity while the low frequencies impedance should not be lower than 4Ohm.
With this said, I am now looking for second hand speakers and a budget which should not exceed $2k.
What would you suggest?
Thanks a lot!
