Favorite Tube Speaker Match

I love my current setup of a Graaf GM5050, a pushpull stereo 50 watter using 6550's, driving a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias. The best I've ever heard was at Deja Vu Audio listening to a setup of their custom tubed preamp and amp driving their own speakers using a custom tubed crossover. Wow! Something to aspire to, I guess. Though I must say Miles Davis is sounding awfully good right now as I type this.

C.A.R. Classic Audio Reproductions or Coincident speakers with Atma-Sphere OTL amps. Very nice. Cheers!

Jond: I am currently listening to a custom built preamp using 6922 tubes with a Deja Vu Audio PP 2A3/ 6SN7'PVK power amp built around a pair of '50's vintage "Chicago" transformers. Driving a rather modest pair of "original" circa 1998 Soliloquy 5.3's speakers with a REL Stentor playing full range from 30 Hz on down. Some of the best transients I have ever heard and completely transparent. Great match!

I guess I just disagree with the original premise.

It is polypropylene, not paper, to my ears, that is dark, smooth, and rich. Most paper drivers I have heard are more light, clear, and fast. I think a lot of us bought into paper drivers being inferior when the polymer drivers began coming to market. But, now I see a growing sentiment that paper is something we should be going back to.

Of course, if the paper driver is heavier than normal, than perhaps this changes things...

JOND,
I've heard VU's horns and amps in his shop and the sound of those big horns is unforgettable. I have Avantegardes at home and they sound small in comparison!
