Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

er.. why Krell speakers?




Many moons ago, I've tried their standmounts with Jotas. (silly, eh ? )
Even with the mono blocks, I didn't think it was a successful pairing.

I have heard a Jota driving the De Cappo. It was lovely. They should do well in a smallish size room. ( they don't go low )

SF speakers are beautiful. I haven't heard them with the Jotas, tho.

Here's an odd ball reco.
My absolute favourite under 4k$ with Jotas so far is the Naim Allaes.
Their sensitivity is at 88db. but their impedance is minimum 6 ohms and they do not have a nasty peak or dip through out the frequency. ( ideal for most tube amps, really )
I used them in a rather open layout room of 14' x 19' (+ 12') x11'. Place them away from a rear wall and they can image and stage just like any other.

They had an electrostat like midrange, pretty good resolution and authority on the bottom end.

They come up on the Gon now and then. ( should go for around 2k$+ )

I did not purchase the pair since I wanted the impact and resolution of larger full range speakers. ( still looking! )

btw, I won't get too hang up on a sensitivity rating. For the most part, I found Jota needs a stable load through out and hopefully no complex xovers...
