Speaker for 300b amp?


What have you tried and what are you using?

I'm thinking of a single 300b per channel.

Prefer recommendations for current production speakers, not vintage unobtaniums.

Lastly, what is it you like about your combination?

I'd suggest Zu speakers as well.  Pretty efficient, but maybe not as efficient as their specs indicate.  I have one of those high watt resistors across the speaker terminals to tame the impedance down to ~8 ohms.  The 8 wpc of my 300B amp is plenty of power for my Soul Supremes.  Never any breakup or saturation distortion.

Second vote for Charney Audio.  I have the Maestro II with AER-BD3 drivers and they match well with my 300b Tube Audio Lab amp. A little pricey though. I’ve rolled Sophia and Western Electric tubes and there is a difference.

I have a 300 B Audio Note amp (Meishu Tonmeister Silver) that sounds amazing with both Audio Note AN-E speakers and Pure Audio Project Duet 15 speakers.  Both speakers have high 90s sensitivity.  You need sensitive speakers for 300b amp.  

Volti, Fleetwood, Charney, DeVore, Klipsch.

I am not sure about Tannoy or Fyne. In all case a sub will be a great combo

I needed speakers designed for corner placement, and went with the Charney Maestro with the Voxativ AC 2.6 driver, and I have used both WE and Takatsuki 300bs with them. The alternative for me would be Audio Note speakers, but I have been really happy with the Charneys. 8 watts is more than enough to drive them well above the volumes I play music at.
