Favorite Tube Speaker Match

I had some paper drivers driven by tube for some time, it was very "Lush" and good but was a Horn system, this would be in my eye considered a very forgiving system in general... But Paper to me always sounds better than even the most advanced Kevlar or whatever else they can throw at you, more natural, and plays just about every frequency naturally, as soon as you add metal or carbon fiber they seem to react different and unless it is the sound you are looking for sometimes they ring a little off colored... But for low Frequency stuff, metal and carbon's can be pretty good they take a beating without breaking up, but so can some of the best paper drivers. So hearing it is key.

And I also agree go back to the basics and just make it better, "paper" should be considered a standard if done right, for the acoustical sense they have, get too much composite's and metal whatever and they introduce other issues.

Bbro and ChrisKeating,
Even Vu was taken aback at how good his system sounded when he fired it up that day. He was testing it out for last years RMAF show and he threw a Mel Torme disc in an Esoteric DV50 player and it was like he was standing right there in front of us. Truly amazing!

for a different spin, I find electrostats like my ESL-63's with a Berning EA-230 triode amp, a match made in heaven.

I'm loving Piega P-10 and all tube BAT VK-75se, D5se, and 5i.

I think the Piega's world class ribbons mate very well w/ the tubes.

I'm running a Yarland el-84 based tube amp with some paper cone Castle Trent speakers in my Kitchen system and find them to synergize very well. Using CDP as a source and it sounds very natural and alot like vinyl. To my ear dosen't sound dark at all and has plenty of life
