Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Speakers to match a 24 watt 300BXLS tube amp.?

As you may know, 300B amps like high/benign impedance loads with the emphasis on benign whether they are single ended, PP or parallel.

Taxing a 300B amp with low impedance dips and average efficiency speakers will mitigate the "magical" qualities that the venerable 300B tubes are capable of delivering.

I had excellent results with a GS 300B/WE SE amp and Cabasse Farella 401 speakers. This was one of THE most musical systems I have ever put together to date although I must divulge that a sub was used via electronic x-over @ 68hz/36db octave thus relieving the 300B from low bass duties.

My advice, keep the efficiency of the speakers above 94db and definately keep a close eye on the impedance undulations so as not to tax the amp.

Cheers
