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 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.

I guess my set up is a little out of left field but I'm running the Evolution Acoustic Micro One speakers with my Finale 300b evo and it's does just fine. The speakers are 88db efficient and I would go any lower. I had a pair of PS Audio FR5 that didn't work at all, but they're one of the least efficient speakers on the planet (83db) so I wasn't surprised. 

This seems a little backwards to me. Cart before the horse thing. Speakers have by far, the most effect in the reproduction chain.

Makes far more sense to buy speakers you love and then search for suitable amplification. 

I am using Klipsch Forte IV speakers with an Audio Note Vindicator amp.  The amp uses two 2A3 SET tubes rated at 3.5 w/ch which is plenty for the 99 dB sensitive Fortes in my medium sized room.  I suspect that they would do fine in a larger space.  I doubt that I ever power them at as much as a watt.  Taste in speakers being highly subjective, Klipsch may or may not be your cup of tea but at least there is the advantage of being able to audition them to see (hear) if they are for you.
