Hi all,

I have a Cayin A50T and have been using engergy veritas 2.3 speakers. However, I blew a mid and there are no replacement parts anymore. I need a new set of speakers. I'm hoping to spend around 1500 used for floor standers. My room is 13 x 19 and I listen along the long wall. I listen to a variety of music from jazz to classical to bluegrass and world music. Sound stage is important to me. What should I be concidering that will mate well with the Cayin which is an el34 based tube amp that buts out about 40 watts.

thanks
andy

  Thanks for the input, I'll look into both options. I see a spendor 8e for sale on Agon. I'll look into that as well.

  If your budget can be stretched to 1800-1900, I can highly recommend a new pair of Salk SongTowers. Floorstander that's an honest 88db efficient and tube friendly. I have 3 different tube amps between 40-60 watts per channel and they all do a very good job driving the Salks.

  I would say 80 dB should be about the lowest efficiency. Seems like most good British speakers would work well, I'm thinking Spendor in particular.
