Speakers and Tube Amps

Coincident... Silverline... Ref3a... to name a few. More names can be found at the wavelength web site with a better depiction of what relates to waht power range of tube amps.

The first poster here said much of what to look for though there are exceptions to manufacturers specs on paper and how some of their loudspeakers will truly react with a given power (wpc) LEVEL.

The room, the amp, and the speakers are all a mix. to wind up with a proper fit for them and yourself, do keep those things in mind.

At or around 50-60wpc and upwards, there will be many speakers which can be driven quite readily. Lots. Probably all of them in fact. to what levels, and with how much bass and so forth is the key question.

80% of the music is made in the first 20wpc.

If you plan on getting into very low powered SET amps this relationship of room, and loudspeaker becomes more important... and can become far more critical as the power diminishes.

I kind of figured anyone that was serious would jump on over there and look for themselves.... but here it is...

I mean if I can find it anyone can.

Good luck.

does the type of cross overs being implemented in the loudspeaker design play much of a part in whether or not a particular speaker is seen as Tube or SS friendly-er?

Such as 1st & 2nd order, vs. say 4th order types?

Thanks Duke

I didn't think so but thought to ask. That's more a blening thing I suppose.
