I went from 200 wpc Aragon amp with Large Infinity Rennaisance 90 floor standers, to Quicksilver 40 watt tube monoblock amps with Proac 1sc stand mounters, and small 10" powered servosubwoofers, and I am enjoying the hell out of them.
In need high-efficency speakers
I recently purchased a preowned Mystere IA-11 40 watt tube integrated amp to replace a 120 wpc SS amp. Overall it has a very satisfying sound with plenty of detail, dynamics and a tight bass for a tube amp.
The problem is the combination of our large town-home living/dining room combo with my 87db DIY Seas Froy Mk3 speaker, powered by the 40 watt amp means it can’t play loud, especially a problem with movies or TV specials.
I was hoping to change to the Zu Audio Omen Mk2 or Klipsch Heresy III high-efficency speakers. My wife and I agree it is unwise to spend that kind of money with our current finances. The Zu Dirty Weekend would be a cheaper option, but the Klipsch would look better in our living room.
So I’m looking for solid advice on what to do from this audiophile community.
Here is a link to my ’Virtual System’ if that will help.
