Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |

Ok I am at the end of my stereo system building phase.However one question always echoed in the back of my mind. What speakers would be interesting or best suited for a 22 watt Sherwood S-5000 tube integrated stereo.
Presently I use a pair of kit Zaph Audio SR-71 with a subwoofer. I have NOOOOOO complaints with these speakers. Just the eternal audio search for new toys.
I was thinking high efficiency, full range (I have tried a few Fostex speakers and was mildly happy but somewhat unimpressed), new Dynaco A-25 kit from Madisound, Magnapan mini's etc....
Price range is around $1000 for either complete or kit form.
thanks
charlesaddendum I should also add that I use a Conrad Johnson Classic 2SE/NAD C275BEE solid state amp as well. I rotate these two setups every other month to keep life interesting. I am VERY happy with both stereos and find NO need to change or try new ones.
