Duke777, I think Glenn and I are on the same page here. Canton's are beautiful sounding speakers. Talk to Ivan first, before you make any firm decisions. It can't hurt.

Hello fellow AAs. I'm new in this forum. I have always found Canton an attractive speaker; however, it seems to me that Canton does not have small high efficiency speakers of 93db or more. I wonder how good it would be to drive a Canton speaker with a low power, 7 watt, class A, SET tube amp?

I was very pleased with my Ref 9K being pushed with 20wpc of Class A push-pull tubes. The Ref 8K, 7K & 5K are slightly more efficient (88 & 89db vs 87db with the 9K). 7wpc might work in a small space at low volume.

Hi Glenn, thanks for your feedback. I want to build up a good sound system around a small SET tube amp, probably a DecWare or an Inspire 300B-v. I've been looking for suitable speakers for those types of amps; Klipsch Heritage and Zu Audio, but for some reason I always end up looking for a Canton. I guess it's because it's an attractive speaker. My living room is 12'x16'...14' high ceiling.
