The Brines Acoustics T7-A7 (about $370 for flats kit and drivers) would make more sense price/size than the Brines/Common Sense above suggestions, are a proven design versus the DIY option, and provides better sound/more flexible (possible in-room use with a sub) than the tiny LGK for roughly the same price when cabinets are accounted for.
I am curious why you say better sound Jeff? All of the reviews I have seen on this site have been outstanding, I know Ron of new record day loved the LGKs as well. Have you been able to compare the two? What did you hear in the Brines that you felt was superior to the LGK? The difference in driver size (4" vs 3") is insignificant in my estimation. I would think either could fill a comparable size room if used with a sub as long as your expectations are reasonable.Best,Ed
This is just a Cheap & Cheerful thread about the Tubecube 7. I'm the OP. Another member interested in the Tubecube 7 asked about DIY desktop speaker options that would pair well with it....which is useful info (as a side topic) to this thread. After all, one can't really do much with an amp without speakers (or source, of course).
Oops, my bad.Laws of physics speak to size/efficiency/bass, but laws of economics also speak to bass/sound quality. Because of that have always wanted a C&C circle version 2 for $2000 systems where less compromised audiophile systems could catch additional interest.
I'd also point out that if you're listening in nearfield, lower sensitivity speakers can be considered.I've used the Pioneer '41 Bookshelf speakers with a single-ended EL84 amp on a desktop, and had plenty of volume.
