I am just getting in to the single ended triode thing, and need to get some speakers which will generate some "SPLs" from a SET amplifier. Specifically, around 2W RMS output from a 2A3.My attraction to the JE labs baffles comes mainly from the fact that they don't involve any major investment or effort like a horn system, and if I need to move on it will be easy. They also seem to be fairly popular with the DIY audio community.
While The JE Labs baffles look like an OK entry point, the WE or even Altec 755A's are a bit rich for my blood. I'd like to do a bit of a survey, if anyone has built these baffles, list what speakers you used, and your impressions. I am thinking towards something cheap but decent sounding, for example Philips 8" full range speakers, or similar.
