[QUOTE="handsome, post: 859658, member: 772"] as previously mentioned bookshelf speakers, despite what most people think, tend to be harder to drive than larger speakers - all things being equal of course. Your best bet of course would be to audition potential candidates. My EL84 amp sounded great on Lowthers, Quad ESLs and small Missions (735s i think) but fell apart on a pair of PMC GB1s. More sensitive speakers (like the Klipshs) [i]should[/i] sound better, not from a 'how loud can i play' perspective but rather a more controlled and dynamic sound. How powerful is your amplifier? And is it tapped for 4R speakers? [/QUOTE]
