300B likes easy load more than high sensitivity

Unfortunately, most mfrs. only report the nominal impedance and do not publish the electrical load curve. One speaker that i know is an easy load and has a little more bass than minis do is the Audio Note (UK) AX-2 (90dB senistive and an honest 8 Ohm nominal load). Personally, I love the sound of an 8-9W 300B amp through LS3/5As, which are only 83dB sensitive, but a very 300B tube-friendly electrical load curve.
