Monitor/Sub for low-powered tube amps


Looking for a monitor/powered sub setup to partner with my Manley 300B amps. Budget is up to $10K. Room is pretty small: 12*16*8. Will use amps in SET mode: 11wpc.

Not worried about "best". Just looking for suggestions/past experiences to narrow the field of candidates.

Thanks

Heck, I'd sell your amp and buy the Coincident Technology Frankenstein's (or if you want more power, the Coincident Dragons at 75 watts/channel)and then one of Coincident Technologies high sensitivity speakers. If you want a tower speaker, the Coincident Total Victory II and the Total Victory IV's are excellent. Another excellent floorstander is the Vaughn Cabernet at $8,500 delivered. It is comparable to the Total Victory speakers.

If you want a monitor sized speaker, the Coincident Triumph Extreme II's are excellent and can be paired with Coincidents own passive subwoofer as a stand. I use the Triumph Extreme II's with a pair of these passive subwoofers as stands in my home theatre set-up and they are great. I then added a pair of Coincident stands for the two Triumph Extreme II's as surround speakers and a single Triumph Extreme II as a center channel.

The Coincident Technology Triumph Extreme II's sitting on their passive subwoofer bases makes for an excellent full range speaker. You can also add a very good self-powered subwoofer, such as a HSU ULF-15. This combination would make for some excellent listening.
