2. speakers
  3. 1090441258

Which of these would you buy?

Here are my prefrences/gear. I have a small room and like Alt. rock but listen to a bit of everything. I want speakers that are forward, dynamic, clear, powerful, and have bass. Ill be driving the speakers with a Jolida 302B tube amp. I have IXOS Super Gamma 7 bi-wire and Audience Conductor interconnects.

Here are my choices:
Vandersteen 3, Audio Physic Spark I, PSB Gold-I, Spendor S6, JM Labs Chorus 726 S

Any speakers I should eliminate? Any I should add? What would you get?

Thanks :D

Vandys might be a bit soft sounding although I haven't heard the 3s in a few years. PSB Gold might be a good choice as I've heard them rock out hard in a dealer's showroom. Spendor's might also be a bit soft for you, JM Labs is known for a leaner sound, as is the Audio Physic, at least to my ears. You've got some very different sounding speakers on the list and how any of them mate with your amp is most important up front.

Which would be good for my 50 WPC Tube amp?

I want the one that sounds the most forward, dynamic, and powerful.

I certainly would not call the Vandy 3s forward, especially with tubes driving them...but they would most likely be the most musical in my opinion.

I would agree with Dlwask
The Vandersteen 3A sigs should prove to be superb performer
If you are in a very small room.
You would always have the option
of simply inserting a Vandy Hi Pass box before your amp adjusting
to what works best in your room in small increments adjusting the bass to your preference
and hi passing the amp would offer far better performance
not to mention making it easier on the tubes.
