Best speaker for about 3-4 Watts.

[Steven Swift]

I've built myself some small tube-based amplifiers to replace
the cheesy amplified speakers that came with my computer. These
amps can put out about 3 watts at full volume and sound pretty
nice on the small speakers I have.

But I'd like to optimize the performance a bit more. What would be
a good choice of speakers for a small tube amp like this? Something
in the 6 inch range probably would be best.

TIA,

Steve.

Hey Francois,

You beat me to the recommendation. I've built a couple
of speakers from the Fostex A/V line, and have been rather
happy with them. I haven't used the 167's, but do have a
pair in the garage I plan to build up one day. I recommend
you add a KSN1038 piezo to the system. The fostex claim
extention to 20KHz, but I'd have to disagree. Other than
that, I really like them.

Chris
