Onix SP3: What speakers are you using?

Hello again.
My love affair/obsession with this little amp continues.
My tube compliment and the HiFi Tuning fuses are burning in nicely. I am really, really enjoying this amp, this hobby and the three pairs of speakers I own. That's the problem: I have three sets of speakers I absolutely love.
I'd like to hear from other SP3 owners what speakers they are using, why they like them, and why they pair well with this amp.
I look forward to hearing from you all. I always learn a lot from your responses.

Had mine hooked up to a pair of vintage large Advents, as neutral a speaker as you can find; very good combination. Now I have it hooked up to a pair of Onix ELT525 monitors and an Energy subwoofer. This little wonder did well with both sets of speakers.

Rhanechak-

Here is a link to the Sterophile review of the large Avent loudspeakers:

As you can see from the review, they are detailed, neutral and accurate. I had the speakers in a very large room on 8" stands and they sounded great and could fill the room easily.

My Advents were re-foamed before I bought them, a necessity given how old they are. Make sure the ones for sale are have been or that you are capable of re-foaming them yourself for best results.

I am familiar with Onix line. I have a pair of mini-strata's in my home rig and love them. Have never heard the Regas. I have way too many speakers at the moment to audition a new set.

Good luck!
