If your budget can stretch look for a used pair of Alon Lotus SE, with a 14 ohm woofer and 90db sensitivity these sing with my 36 watt Air Tight amp. They play as loud as you might want and the bass goes to about 38hz. You'll probably pay 1800-2000 used. Good luck!
what speakers for 40 watt triode?
Hi, I've got Cary SLI-80 now, and love it in both triode and ultraliner mode, but I think I'll get best of both worlds if I get a more efficient speaker and just run it in triode. My Thiel 1.6's actually work quite well with the triode mode, but comparison with the UL mode reveals that there is a bit more spunk and size of soundstage to be had. I'm thinking nominal 8 ohm instead of 4, 90+ sensitivity. What do you think?
Have any of you lived with Cary SLI-80 in triode mode? Which speakers mated well?
Thanks,
Art
