I just bought the asl si115 15 wpc se; it is driving my reference 3a da capos, fed by the phillips sacd,dvd,cd player. This is a phenomenal and pretty low cost system. I'd spend the extra $500 or so it would cost to get the dacapos used with stands. It will sound very high quality. By the way, this is my second system-the other one costs 5 times as much and sounds maybe 50% better-maybe.
Very tube-friendly monitor speakers?
Hey
I want to setup a second system consisting of a SET integrated (at this point looks like Antique Sound Labs or Unison) around 3 to 10 Watts. I want much more efficient speakers than my Paradigm Reference 100.2s so as to not have to stress my new little amp, leaving the Paradigms with my beloved McIntosh SS setup. By my calculations, i would like a monitor of 93dB or more sensitivity. And to make it even harder, I would like to keep it around $1000 or less, new preferred but used not out of the question. Any comments, suggestions, questions welcome. Thanks! Arthur
