What speakers do you pair with your tube amps?
« on: May 24, 2005 at 11:34 AM »
Newbie here :-[.  I'm currently not into tubes but I would be interested to know (I'm sure other newbies in tubes would also be interested) what speakers you guys pair with your tube amps.  Suggestions on other combinations will also be a good information to those contemplating to go into this hobby  :)

Hans,

Kaya rin kaya i-drive ng AMX ang Diamond 8 series? I have an all Diamond 8 set-up in my HT paired with an HK+an old-model M&K sub. My next project is to set-up a separate budget audio set-up and I'm considering the AMX tube amp plus a budget speaker.  Any suggestions on other speakers that will mate well with the AMX?

Thanks
