Hi guys, I'm looking for some stereo floor-standing speakers that pairs well with a 40 watt per channel (into 8Ω) otl amp. My plan is for them to be mixed use between music and movies. My budget is around 1000-1500 dollars; I don't mind if the speakers are new or used. I'll be sitting around 10 feet away from the speakers. I'm using an avr as a preamp so I may decide to add a powered subwoofer as well. What do you guys recommend?
Alright, what do you guys think about the Tannoy Revolution XT 6F? There seems to be a decent pair for a reasonable price near me. Recommended amp power is well within the 25-100 watt range.
I used a 35wpc amp with my Silverlines with good results. However my speakers are 93.5db efficient. I WOULD NOT go lower than that. No way, no how. SAY NO to the Tannoys. That is sales speak. They are still 90db which will not be enough IME You NEED at least 94db IMO, Unless you never plan on cranking the volume
Other deals take longer or cost more to try. (Tektons currently taking 12 weeks to build and ship. Purchaser pays full return shipping costs.) You could simply try something from Crutchfield first.
Apologies. They still carry the 40i model, but it's $1082 each at scratch and dent. Very well reviewed. I've heard and really like the 60xti version and it plays well with lower watt amps. I suspect the ML's speed would lend itself nicely to HT and listening.
q -- where were we before dannie richie came along to point out how crappy our expensive speakers are, and how they were in dire need of him making them right
