Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ?

For awhile I had both a Cronus and an AES/Cary AE-25 Superamp with DJH AE-2 preamp, still have the AE-25.

My speakers are Devore 8's and the sound with either amp and EL-34's is exceptional The Devores are designed with tubes in mind and have such great range and dynamics for their size that they don't need the extra punch of KT-88's or 6550's, though those sound great, as well.

The El-34 types I've used are Teslas (pre-JJ), both black and brown base, RFT/Siemens and the Gold Lion KT-77 reissues. They all sound great, I'm not sure I could pick a favorite.

I'm driving my Maggie 3.6's with the Cary V12. With its 6 el34's a side, it puts out 50 wpc in the triode mode. I have been looking for a nice tube amp for them. So far, so good.

I am driving DeVore Nines w/ 25 watt EL-34 monos, with no issues. Are you trying to stay in a general price range.

I'm not necessarily looking to buy new speakers now, but when I do, I'll probably be in the "$2500 - $3000" range. For me, a great part of this hobby is learning about other enthusiasts' findings of synergy and happiness with speakers and amps. I really enjoy finding out what combinations have been working well for different folks. I'm going to keep my Rogue, as I really love the way it plays music through the Vandy's, and I want to get an idea of other "musical" EL-34 tube friendly speakers.

Merlins are special and the Company support is top-shelf,good luck,Bob
