Any suggestions for a full-range sounding, efficient monitor speaker? I'm setting up a second system in a small room and I'm looking to power it with a T-amp.I have a pair of Omega Super 3s that are efficient and sound great driven by tubes and with the help of a sub, but on their own they are too lean with my Sonic Impact super-T.
I hooked up a pair of Spica TC-50s and they sounded much more full and natural, but they are 86db and are a little bit of work for the amp.
Any recommendations for a more efficient but still full sounding speaker?

I also run the Super 3r for my computer room speakers and you are right, they are thin with the SI amp. However, there is plenty of bass with my Decware ZEN amp. I had a sub under the desk but did'nt need it. I concur about the Altecs, but would also suggest the Jensen or EV coax of that time. For a small room any one of them would do just fine. Cheers.
The Altec Duplexes, 604s and 605s, are very efficient monitors (98db+) that make very robust bass and will get pretty loud with a SI amp, my 605s certainly do.Although large speakers the 605s work well in small rooms because of the coaxial design, the 604s should work as well.
I can recommend Altec Boleros. I'm driving them with a Sonic Impact amp. The sound is so Altec fine.
Hah DB, I'm using Boleros and a SI amp too. To play a digital piano and drumset through no less. Works fine as long as I don't get REAL loud.Use CDs with it too sometimes, works very well for that, better than OK.
Hey Tom,My room is tiny (10x10) and I'm sitting about 5 feet from the Boleros. There is no way I could take them up REAL loud without blowing out my ears first. Hah!
I must say, the Boleros at near-field sound so good. Movies sound incredible too with very accurate vocals and mid-range.
