Best speakers for 2A3 SET amplifier?


What is the best speaker for a 3.5 watt/channel amplifier?

Trelja, I am also setting up a second system with the 2A3 amplifier. The amp is the only component that is set (no pun intended!), i.e. I just ordered a Fi Super X from Don Garber. I have considered Avant Garde DUOs, but I am put off a little by the size and cost. Have you looked into the Pioneer speakers (http://www.tad-pioneer.com/pionrweb.nsf/web/frame.htm), I heard that they are very nice. Any opinions on the old Klipschhorns? There was a nice pair for sale recently on Audiogon (unfortunately, I don't have a house with 2 unobstructed adjacent corners!
Coincident work really well with these types of amps very easy to drive.The soundstage and image are incredible at their price points.
Don't forget the Kochel's. 97db, nice looking too. Kind of halfway between a horn like Avantgarde and normal dynamic speakers. Great sound, best piano I've ever heard. I have a pair and use a 300B SET amp on them.
Hi all, I have heard the Avantgarde, Edgarhorns and Kockels. I thought the Kockels sounded best. For the money don't forget the Klipsch KLF 30. Thats what I ended up using with my 5 watt system to save $ (kids factor)
Thanks Jls3! I think the Kochels were the speakers I was trying to remember! Klipsch speakers have never done it for me. Just provide me with none of the emotional experience that the kind of audio equiment we lust for does. Not to say they are not good, just not good for me. I will investigate the Edgarhorns. Have a really nice pair in the $4k range(I recall?), and will fit into the room(sized/look more like "regular" speakers). I can say nothing against Avantegarde. But, I am pretty sure I will not buy because: I can't spend that kind of money, and they are too big for me(DOMINATE the room). Maybe in another life...
