What Speakers to Use with Sonic Impact T-Amp?


I am making a system to play around with based on the Sonic Impact T-Amp. For speakers, I am debating between used Klipsch Heresy's or Omega Super 3's. Any experiences using either with the SI? Any other suggestions? Front end with either be a CAL Aria or Carver SD/A 490t.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Another driver that I've heard recently..which may need a little more power. Is the CSS FR125S in a small enclosure. Man these speakers are smooth and musical. Tom Z uses them in a wide baffle horn loaded cabinet PAWO.
The Mini Me isn't very efficient.But there are owners of it and the ClariT that say the combination is very good for a small system.At $389 a pair this maybe a way to go. Good thing about Louis..if they don't work out you can send them back for a refund. The 10 warranty doesn't hurt either. His furniture grade cabinets are some of the best I've seen! The pics on his site do not come close to how they look in person.Here's a couple of pics of my former Omega 8s in Red Parisian Maple.

Good luck
For one Papertrail..your going to get more drive out of the SI.Instead of 6wpc you'll get 9 wpc with the 4 ohm Mini Me.I'm unsure of the frequency range of the Mini's.It looks to use one of the Tang Band Bamboo fiber cone drivers.I'm not sure of which one though. The low frequency extention shouldn't be much higher than that of the Super 3s ..I'm guessing? from looking at the frequency graphs in the past. This speaker may sound smoother than the Fostex whizzer cone based speakers.

One of the resident Mathematicians should be able to figure dB level usage of the 9wpc /4 ohms @90dB sensitivity as compared to 6wpc/ 8 ohms @ 93db sensitivity. You can always email Louis ..he's pretty responsive to emails.

I think Cdc has built some open baffle speakers using this driver. He may also be helpful. Where you at Cdc?
Try to stay above 94 dB with the speakers you choose. The less crossover parts the better!
