RE: What Speakers Are You Using for Low Power SETs?

With my 300B amps (8 Watts), I use a pair of Bottlehead Straight 8 speakers that I built from a kit they sold a few years back. They are a vertical array of 8 small speakers and a (titanium I think) dome tweeter. I can't recall their efficiency but it is very good. I've been very happy with them, and they can be tucked into corners if need be. I've had Cornwalls in the past and while I loved them, they were just too big for any space I had or figured I was every likely to have.

With my Bottlead SEX amp, which is around two watts, iirc, I use home-made TQWT speakers (see link for plans) with Radio Shack 40-1354 drivers. I've likewise been happy with these; they are mostly used for background music in the den.
