Nola Boxer or PMC TB2i???


Hi guys.Well I've just ordered a Cayin A-50T(35wpc.,EL-34/12AX7/12AU7,Tube Integrated Amplifier)& have narrowed down my speaker choices to the above mentioned monitors.As I'm in a geographical area were it will be impossible to audition either of these speakers I am buying based purely on reviews & personal ears on experience by Audiogon members.
Source is an Oppo BDP-95,ALL cables(including Power Cords)are Acoustic Zen,Zero Crystal Copper.Musical taste includes Classical,Blues(Acoustic & Amp'ed),a little Jazz,Reggae & Classic Rock.I value a warm,organic sound.
Both speakers are 90db.8 ohm loads & reportedly EASY to drive.So what say you A'goners,were would you put your hard earned $$$ & why?
Thanks much,take care...

Nola boxers. I sold mine last year because I upgraded but I had to spend a lot more to get a better speaker. Can't go wrong with them considering their price.
I have owned Boxers for the past 1.5 yrs, and they are wonderful little speakers. I used a Rogue Atlas (65 wpc with similar tube complement as your Cayin), and the mids were glorious. I wanted more power, so I used a Rogue 90 for bit, but I like the EL34 sound better than the KT88. I've since moved on, but you cannot go wrong with the Boxers
The PMCs have been refined over several generations. They sound great top to bottom with lots of low end for a stand mount. If you can't listen to either, IMO, the PMC is a much safer bet. Good luck
