In Reply to: What speakers to use with marantz 9s?? posted by bcguitar on March 15, 2014 at 14:59:48:
Since you mentioned Cornwalls, I'd suggest setting the 9s to triode and trying them with Cornwalls. The speakers do not need the 70 watts
in triode mode the 9s are one of the best out there. From experience the pair are truly magical. I used both with a Marantz 7 and a ARC SP-3a1.
The amps also are exceptional with a set of QUAD ESLs and ESL63s, KLH Nines, Koss Model One, and Martin Logan CLs. Yeah all electrostatics.
One a more common not, early Wharfedales, Tannoy and Lowther driver based systems. While how size is measured, the JBL Paragon and ALTEC VOTT also have synergy.
If you could go big, the E-V 30W coupled with a Jensen 610 but then you will likely become a single person.
