Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000?

I'm not sure what the minimum value is. But I do know that of the two models of Montana speakers I have owned, both have sounded much better off the 8 ohm tap. The SPXs are actually a little more tube friendly than the SP2s were. But I haven't tried them with anything less than 100 watts of push-pull tube power.

Did you notice there was no tolerance on that spec? They could be 20 db down at 28Hz. That's the same ploy the mid-fi receiver companies used to use for amplifier specs. "500 watts per channel". Which usually meant 1 channel driven and only at 1Khz, and only for a brief
period of time.

You don't really think you will replace your VR4s with anything that retails for 850.00, do you? Hopefully you are shopping for a 2nd system.

Tvad,

Warren is asking the same question I tried to pose to you over the weekend, but Agon being in true form, lost the post and won't respond to my emails.

Good luck in your quest. But remember, the VR4s won't be replaced cheaply.

BTW, I would recommend you listen to some Montanas. I have the SPXs and I think they are an all around better performer than anything in the VS line up to the DB99s. I think they sound far better than the Sr.s. The price is only 5500.00 for a new pair, but there just happens to be a used pair on the 'Gon right now. Worth looking into.
