Serge,
Ok, now that's more like it for my range on this little tertiary tube system I'm building. Hmmm. Nice! now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! It might become primary with any of these great recommendations. Those little guys are SWEET! It would take me $2k in parts and cabinet labor alone to build something real nice or buy it done for $1,899, hmm, that's an easy decision. Gonna have to check those out. Heard of them but never seen them before. ------------------------------------------- I've been out of the mainstream manufacturer industry speaker loop for a while since my Totems and last custom set was completed for my main system a few years ago. LIKE the small form factor idea to go right along with my upcoming small form factor tube amp. If these speakers sound as good as many of you mention, heck, it might make me sell off the entire big system too. --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks all, now I've got some Reference, Focals, Zu, Devore, and maybe some Tekton speakers to check out.

When I was running a Shindo 10W SET on the Tannoy Canterbury SE (big speakers!) they actually sounded like they had more body and fuller/meatier than with Audio Research 250 Reference monoblocks! Go figure! Last edited by PHC1; 01-21-2018 at 10:35 PM. |

In the case of the Zu Omen Bookshelf, they are 12ohm and 97dB, that is very tube friendly. |

Thanks. Will check them out. Lots of good votes for the Omega speakers

I don’t think this company is still in business. But the Galante Rhapsody would be an ideal candidate. You can find them used at very reasonable prices. And since you said that DIY was acceptable, I assume that you wouldn’t mind doing some minor work on a used speaker.
Look for some reviews on these from around the years 2000-2003.
