I doubt the music will have any life to it. With the 4 ohm impedence, I would imagine the music will not have much drive. The vocals might sound very good but the frequency extremes would be missing in action. Epos speakers have a rep of needing plenty of current drive to bring them to life. I would stick with an 8ohm or higher speaker with a sens of at least 90db/1w/m. I have found you can cheat on the sens if you use a speaker with no or a very simple crossover. This protects against any funny business in the impedence trace. This will make your 300b very happy.
EPOS ELS 3 with SET Amp?
I am thinking of getting a pair of the Epos ELS 3 bookshelf speakers for my Single ended triode class A amp. It uses 300B tubes. Here are the specs for the amp:
Power output: <= 10W x 2, THD <= 3%, 1Khz
Frequency response: 16—38 Khz, -2dB
Output impedance: 8 ohms
Signal/Noise: >= 90 dB
Here are the specs for the Epos ElS 3 speakers:
Power Handling: 25 - 100 Watts Max
Frequency Response: 65Hz - 20kHz ±3dB
Impedance: 4 ohms Nominal
Sensitivity: 87dB/1 watt/1 meter
Will it be ok for this combo?
