Spendor SP 2/3 Amplifier Load

Howdy Fellow Cool People,

I'm considering a pair of Quicksilver Mini-Mites (25 watts) to drive my Spendor Classic SP 2/3s. I've read various opinions on what these amps are capable of when it comes to driving speakers in the 88-90 dB sensitivity range, but have yet to find someone driving Spendors. In addition, I'm not sure what the average and/or minium ohm load is for these Spendors. Anyone have experience with this conundrum? Thanks.

Hi,

I used a Golden Tube SE40 with my 2/3s years ago w/ no problems, plenty of weight/dynamics in a relatively small room. I have also heard them with a number of other tube amps. Even with 6-8 W SETs they can sound decent, though I would prefer a little more power. The Spendors are rated at 88.5db for efficiency, but I think all Spendors have a pretty flat/high impedence load. The 2/3s should work well with most tube amps.
