Speakers for Sonic Frontiers Power 2 Amp?


I just purchased a Power 2 amp that should arrive any day now. I'm looking to replace older but decent sounding Mirage M7si speakers. I have a modded Jolida JD-100 tube cd player, and a TAD 150 Signature tube preamp. I'm considering some Usher speakers and contacted Stan at Usher Audio. He stated the 6311s need damping factor > 100 but the Power 2 is rated for damping factor > 50. This relates to bass control I guess. Can anyone having experience with this amp and share their opinion with speakers used. I'm looking for full range speakers (used around $1000 > $1200) that the Power 2 can run properly. Thank you.

Hi, Just took a look at whats available on the gon right now, Considering what Shakey said I would look for some vandersteens 2ce and there are a few for sale used here. Also a couple of speakers caught my eye that look to be decent deals one is a pair of Silverline Panatella III's and the other is a pair of NHT 3.3's. Both of these pairs are going for more than 70% off of when they were new. I've heard both pairs and have listened to the vandersteen's as well but not with your amp, so do some research and read lots of reviews by owners and pro reviewers and look for ones that sound like they might be a good fit. If you pay a reasonable price used and they don't work out you can resell and not lose too much if anything. Good Luck, and have FUN with this!
