Montan "WAS" speakers . ANY INFO?


I'VE LOOKED ALL OVER AND CAN'T GET ANY INFO ON THE MONTANA WAS SPEAKERS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OPINIONS? ARE THEY TUBE FRIENDLY? EASY TO DRIVE? DO THEY WORK IN A NARROW ROOM AGAINST THE SHORT WALL? ANY ADVISE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
THANK YOU!

I can't answer your question, but somethin' tells me the PBN Audio "whup-ass speaker" model was not made with set amps in mind. :)
e-mail kevin mcguire at the sound station he is very knowledgeable about montana and pbn audio. he has been selling them for years and knows as much about them probably as peter himself
Well I ain't in PN's groupe of knowledge but I did own the EPS. That speaker may have what might appear to have a friendly 91/93 value---but the impedance drops to 3.8 and sucked big-time on the 2 set amps,I owned. Further; when I went to horns I could hear how congested the mid/highs were--(compared to--)Then I got Merlin mm---Lost most of the bass---sold them; got Wilson Soph 2's happy now. Good luck in your search.---Spend enough money/be an expert!?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! PLEASE KEEP THE INFO COMING IN! I'M JUST GETTING BACK INTO 2 CHANNEL AUDIO AND ALL THIS INFO IS REALLY HELPING ME TO MAKE A DECEISION ON WHAT SPEAKER TO PURCHASE. THE EQUIPMENT I'M USING IS;
MCINTOSH PRE AMP#2300, MC 275 AMP, VPI SCOUTMASTER, AND REPLACING 1960'S KLIPSCHORNS. I HAD NARROWED IT DOWN TO A CHOICE BETWEEN THE MONTANA'S AND THE DUNLAVY VI'S. NOW I'M LEANING TOWARDS THE DUNLAVYS. ALTHOUGH, I LIKE THE ASTHETICS OF THE WAS MUCH MORE, I JUST CAN'T JUSTIFY THE PRICE DIFFERANCE...
THANKS AGAIN, AND PLEASE, KEEP SENDING ANY AND ALL OPINIONS AND STAT'S AS THIS WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE MY DECEISION FOR ME!
THANK YOU,

JIM
Jim, just a suggestion; release the caps lock. It appears at though your shouting.
