Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently

>Anybody out there drive a Woodmere with any tube amp?<

I used to have my Woodmeres running with deHavilland Aries 845G SET's with absolutely no problem, whatsoever.

I'm now using a McIntosh MC 352 with the Woodmeres connected via the 4 ohm taps.

Fair comment, Macrojack.

Davvie- But don't some Mac amps have internal autoformers? I could be wrong, but I think I read that somewhere.

Denis- I think you should get the Selah's. I've always wanted to hear them and they are beautiful ;~)

I'm not arguing about any of your points, tvad, just reporting what Ralph said based on Ty's conversation and Ralph's knowledge of the speakers.

Nor am I arguing any of your points. I just wanted to know where the Tyler minimum impedance info came from. Thanks for the answer.

Good luck on the hunt. I'm sure you'll find something great.

Swampwalker-

Yes...The MC 352 does use output autoformers.

To quote McIntosh...
"Output autoformers, a feature of many of our amplifiers, assures that you get all the power you paid for. Other amplifiers, optimized for 8-ohm speakers, have warnings not to use with many speakers that are 4 or even 2-ohm impedance. Others are optimized to work with these low impedance speakers, but deliver only a fraction of their potential power with 8-ohm speakers. Output autoformers avoid this problem, with separate connections for all three popular speaker types, insuring full power, without stress, into any speaker regardless of impedance."
