RMAF Loudspeakers?

Why 95+dB as a priority.

Because I want to use low powered tube amplification.

To get 105dB peaks on a 90dB speaker at 10 feet from the speakers requires 156wpc. To get 105dB peaks on a 95dB speaker requires 50wpc. Big difference. Many more affordable 50wpc tube amps than 150wpc tube amps.

Have you heard any of the Tonian offerings Look at the phy drivers it may just be up your alley.

I also want to mention Tony Minasian is a great guy to deal with -that always helps !

I have heard a Tonian model in the past. Considered one of the latest offerings,
but the full range models are beyond my budget ($35k as I recall).

Grant...I think the Tonian Classic 12.1 can be had just around your budget with some artful negotiation.

I thought the 12 classic was in the 10-12k range
I may be mistaken but that is where I was going with this
