Efficient bookshelf speakers for my office


Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of putting together a simple office system with the Coincident Dynamo II and a pair of standmount speakers.  The Dynamo puts out 8 wpc, so I need a pretty efficient pair of speakers.  Only looking for bass down to 45HZ or so.  Tower speakers won't work due to the office setup.  Will sometimes crank it up a bit, but generally looking at listening at 75db or so.  Would welcome any recommendations.  Prefer a smoother, warmer speaker to a hyper-detailed one. 

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Best, Scott

Sorry soix, I must agree with auxinput. Rated sensitivity of the JA RM7 is 86db, however it was measured at 84.5db. That alone makes it unsuitable for a low powered tube amp. The other characteristics are irrelevant. With 8 watts, I would only recommend a sensitivity in the mid 90’s or above.
