Hansen Prince & tubed amps


I've been considering changing to the Hansen Prince, but am concerned that my amps - Shindo Sinhonia - which are rated at 40 watts, may not have sufficient power for these speakers which are rated at only 87db. Does anyone have experience with these Hansens and tubed amplification of comparable power? thanks.

Cmalak,
Great post! In this case it boils down to room size, listening level and music type. With these exceptional amps I`d give serious consideration to speakers without that high frequency dip below 4 ohms and with more efficiency to get the most from these Shindo amps.
Boy, Cmalak is on a roll with great suggestions(I own Coincident speakers they`re superb) that`s a very good list of tube friendly speakers. I`d also add Horning and Tonian Lab as potentially exceptional mates with the Shindo amps. I think all the above would match much better than the Hanson speakers i.e. much easier and relaxed load.
