Vintage Asylum

AR 11 or leak 2075

I have a chance to pick up either of these. The mid range is v nice on the ar but the leaks have a good balance in the sound. What would you choose? The leaks are more expensive but I am more into the tone. Anyone has experience with both? I will drive them with appropriate power tube amps. Smallish room. Mostly for vocals and jazz.

I'm not familiar with the Leak but with the right amount (i.e. lots) of power the AR-11 is a very special speaker.

  Same here - I own a pair of 10 pi's (essentially the same as the 11's with autoformers in the crossover) and I love them. I drive them with a big McIntosh (also with autoformers), and the sound is indeed very special. They are good enough to rate high on my list of "if you own these you can stop looking for something better" speakers.

  Do you think tubes will sound good with the ar or do I need a muscular Ss amp? I mainly own tube amps up to 50 watts and the rest are old solid state amps like luxman

    If you have 50 watts of tube power I think you'll be happy. Less than that I think you're leaving too much potential untapped.
