RE: Recommend some speakers for a Quicksilver Integrated amplifier!

I often think when Audiophiles are experienced enough to wade into tube land they really don't need hand holding to buy loudspeakers.

In all these kinds of posted - if you get 10 replies they'll probably be a bunch of different speakers.

It's 20 watts or so so you have more options than SET guys like me.

All the usual speaker brands that are easy to drive from the likes of Tekton, Audio Note, Certain DeVore Audio, JBL, Cerwin Vega, Zu Audio, Reference 3a, certain Tannoy, Reference 3a, most any single driver speakers and Open Baffle speakers and of course most horn designs.

The great hing is there are so many brands now that are pretty happy with lower watt tube amps. It's really just what do you like. Reviews don't help so much because everything gets a good review.

Whenever stores open up just go listen preferably bring your amp and hear how it works together.

I paired my EL84 amp to the Audio Note J/SPe for 16 years - it was a fine match and that amp only had 8-10 watts. But it's over budget now.

You could check out Spatial speakers - I believe they are not too hard to drive and have speakers in budget and a really good return policy - something like 60 days. But they are Open Baffle - they're not going to hit anywhere near as hard as a Klipsch.
