I used a Tang Band 8" full range in a custom built cabinet being powered from a Schiit Aegir (20wpc) and really enjoy it. I, too, have a small listening room (11.5 x 14) so I'm in the same boat as you. I looked long and hard at the Omega speakers, via email they recommended the Super Alnico Monitor. I like a softer sound so for me it eliminated a lot of high efficiency speakers (like Zu). Another I was (still am) interested is the Decware HDT but I'm not a big fan of Fostex drivers.
High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
Soliciting recommendations for high efficiency monitors that would work well paired with a relatively low-powered (22wpc) SET amp (Line Magnetic LM-218ia) in a small listening room. Budget is modest, around $2,500 and potentially stretching to $3,000 - thinking I'll be looking at pre-owned. Listen mostly to chamber music and jazz, not really worried about reproducing large scale orchestral music or rock.
Thanks for your thoughts!
