Must admit I can never get comfortable with the answer to this but I would like to dabble valves at some point….
Something like the 8watt monsters like Border Patrol products…just how what kind of speaker can you hook them up to…???? My Audio Physics Virgo III’s are claimed 90db 4 ohm load…3 way speaker…I get a different answers to will such a design work with the Audio Physics speakers…
Yet on the BP site it makes claims “….but the amplifier is equally comfortable driving more real world designs, though the recommended efficiency for partnering loudspeakers to extract the maximum performance needs to be greater than 90dB/watt. One reviewer was staggered to find the SE300B driving a loudspeaker that had defeated everything but his 400W channel transistor amplifierâ€
So as an example would the BP work with the Virgo’s? or any other reasonable load speaker or should I (as I am increasingly thinking) consider amp/speakers as a package which have a magical synergy? regardless of the paper specs?
