Re: (1) efficient speakers, (2) beefy amp, (3) preamp and sources

Your friends DIY speakers look like they would be dynamic. Great job!

I say speakers are the most important factor. But i disagree on amp power. My efficient DIY speakers sound great with either 30 (that's a lot!) tube watts or 6 digital watts from the cheapo Sonic Impact digital amp. 100 solid state watts from either my (sold) Aragon or cheap Yamaha receiver always sound 'flat'... tubes round out the sound a bit but i think what you really want is 'bloom' and 'jump factor'.

Efficeint speakers that have enough bass to form a foundation and tube or digital watts help create the sense of dynamics, bloom and jump factor that's very satisfying.

Peace,
Godzilla
