Or you could try adding a powered sub and only sending frequencies above 50 to 100Hz to your mains. This would free up a lot of headroom for your current amplifier.
In need high-efficency speakers
I recently purchased a preowned Mystere IA-11 40 watt tube integrated amp to replace a 120 wpc SS amp. Overall it has a very satisfying sound with plenty of detail, dynamics and a tight bass for a tube amp.
The problem is the combination of our large town-home living/dining room combo with my 87db DIY Seas Froy Mk3 speaker, powered by the 40 watt amp means it can’t play loud, especially a problem with movies or TV specials.
I was hoping to change to the Zu Audio Omen Mk2 or Klipsch Heresy III high-efficency speakers. My wife and I agree it is unwise to spend that kind of money with our current finances. The Zu Dirty Weekend would be a cheaper option, but the Klipsch would look better in our living room.
So I’m looking for solid advice on what to do from this audiophile community.
Here is a link to my ’Virtual System’ if that will help.
