I've recently picked up a CS300X, my third one over the past 15 years...and mulling over some suitable vintage partners.
I live in a London apartment so high spls are out of the question - the room is long and narrow with the speakers firing across, around 10 feet max away from the speakers.
Thinking vintage JBLs, Celestion Dittons perhaps ? Any thoughts on reasonably sensitive speakers ? I tend to value tone over most other attributes and I only rarely listen to rock, opera and big symphonies..
Realise this is a longish shot but perhaps someone has experience of low powered EL84 based amps - the Leben is 12-15 watt on a good day...
