Atmasphere-
I am confused by something. I'm going to use Wilson as the example because I am more familiar with them than some. They are commonly described as s a speaker that seems is "tube friendly". Your previous post recommends one should examine the "speaker designer's intention". Under specs for every model they make the impedence is listed at 4ohms and the sensitivity varies from 89-95dbs depending on the model. My current speakers are Aerial 20t's which are not generally thought of as "tube freindly". They are listed at 4 ohms as well and sensitivity is 90 db. Not really that different from the Wilsons except for maybe the incredibly expensive Alexandrias at 95dbs. Is there something else one needs to consider besides impedence and sensitivity? And if a speaker designer were really designing a speaker to be compatible with lower power tube amps wouldn't they inherently design a higher impedence speaker?
