Goof High-Efficiency bookslef speakers

Hello,

I just ordered Dennis Had (formerly of Cary Audio) single ended (807 tube) amplifier - 9 watts per channel.

Here, I am interested in intimate small scale music e.g. female vocals and I need to match this amplifier with appropriate speakers. Sound can be "a touch" euphonic

I have no experience with high-efficiency speakers and I would appreciate good advice in that regard

I am looking for very accurate detailed reproduction of SE amp signal. Can err on warm side but not clinical! Bookshelf, Retail: $1k - $2k, its 2nd system

Thank you

Simon

Simon, please let us know your thoughts on the De Capo's once you've settled in with them for awhile. Congratulations.

You need 100-150hrs break in time at least.

" What amp are you using exactly with de capo's"

I bought (but did not used it yet - as my main speakers are extremely power hungry - so I wait until I will get my De Capo) Dennis Had's (formerly of Cary) single ended "807" amplifier.

I tried this amp with my speakers only once. I used the "softest" music I know - Pergolesi "Stabat Mater" with volume control at maximum position and sound appeared in the amount enough to enjoy it. Strangly, it was identical (for my ears, of course) to the sound of my system with my own two very powerful transistorSpectron monoblocks. I am not trying to say that our monoblocks sound as sweet as single ended tube amplifier (incidently other said so - see on-line owners reviuew) but I know what I heard too.

Interesting hobby we have?
