I have a Bell tube integrated(20 watts) that is very nice driving Meadowlark Heron i.It has 16 ohm taps and 8 ohm and it drove a stacked pair of ESL 57 with no effort. Try and find some vintage tube gear such as this.Mine still has the original RCA 6V6 and Tele 12ax7 tubes from 1961.Am I lucky or do they just not make them like they used to?
Options matching 15 ohm LS3/5A to amps?
I've a pair of Rogers LS3/5A 15 ohm speakers. Lately I've been thinking of downsizing my system by replacing my cj MV50/Prem 14 combination with an integrated tube amplifier.
Problem is, most integrated amps I've been checking out on Audigon have only 4 ohm and 8 ohm spkr outputs (the MV50 has 4,8,16 ohm options). I'm assuming I'd use 8 ohm for the Rogers if 16 ohm s isn't available—is this going to be an issue? All suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and happy holidays!
