Been trying it so far with the Omega Compact Alnico Monitors (94.5 dB), great imaging and foot tapping, excellent match.
The Fire-Bottle is able to drive the SF Elipsas (91 dB) but with a more laid back presentation. Needless to say that I won't even try it with the Maggies...
Next in line will be the more challenging ProAc SM100, Harbeth 30.1 and Dynaudio Special Forty. I will report with findings.
And thinking of trying some open baffle speakers in the near future, so far I have Lii's, Spatials and PAPs on my short list. |
ProAc SM100 (88 dB) responding surprisingly well, different taste, what you lose in speed/attack vs the Omegas you gain in body, also throwing a wider/deeper stage.
Now playing Ben Webster/Tete Montoliu Trio, Don't Blame Me from the Gentle Ben album... goosebumps
