80's Rauna Ymer Tower Speakers Advise on Swapping Low Wattage Speakers with Some Kicks!

I picked up 2 of these speakers 2 years ago and they are in pretty good shape. The original Rauna are setup for a hi wattage amp. It actually sounds good on my 70's Sony 150 watt per channel amp. But I been wanting to set it up to match my low power tube amp 65 watts per channel Yaqin MC-100B. Total is 4-KT-88 on both channel. I prefer the linear mode. But occasionally I switch to the soft mode. I listen to a lot of old pops. Well just call it like this Phil Collins Seriously Live in Berlin.
. Any speaker recommendation is great. Thanks... Joe

Try a pair of Klipsch Heresy's. They will play ear-bleeding LOUD with your tube amp!

So you feel the Rauna speakers don't match up well with the Yaquin tube amp? Won't play loud enough? Bass too loose? The Yaquin likely has an output impedance of several ohms. Therefore will act as a tone control as it tracks the typical varying impedance (resistance) of most speakers (few have a flat impedance).

A saner choice would be a pair of Tekton DI's. There are some now on this site (listed for $2K) from seller "funlvr1965". Pickup only from Madison, WI.
