I received a new pair of Raytheon 6DN7's for my SEX amp. I decided to burn them in, the speakers that I had out were a pair of EPI 100's that I refoamed, recapped, rewired and replaced the input jacks. Being lazy I didn't want to hook up another set of more efficient speakers. All I can say is WOW! The SEX amp powered them to fairly loud levels. The sound quality was fantastic, warm, detailed with a nice roll off of the highs. I have had the amp and speakers for years and never tried this combo because I thought the speakers were too inefficient. Who knew?
BTW at the Headphone show near San Francisco several weeks ago, I received many complements on the SEX amp. Everybody enjoyed looking through the assembly manual and most meeting Doc Bottlehead!

I also have run mine on the EPIs. It's pretty good.
See if you can try your SEX on some Klipsch KSB 3.1 speakers. They're quite efficient and great for a small space. And you can usually get them for about $100.
"and most meeting Doc Bottlehead!"
Chuckling, "most". I may have ruffled a feather or two. Most of my friends wouldn't be too surprised in hearing that. I have a rep for being a little different in person than I am on the web ;^)>
i've used my pair of 100's with a 3w 2A3 set and yes it plays o.k. but nothing like my 92db 2way or 95db single driver speakers. i think you'll be surprised at the difference when you find more efficient speakers with benign electrical loads.
