To answer a few questions that have been asked.....
1) This pair of speakers will come with an internal crossover. The external crossovers shown in the picture above was a custom unit built with ZERO-Autoformers. The speakers in the picture were built for an Audio Circle member.
2) This pair will come with standard bi-wire terminal cups with upgraded gold plated binding post. We no longer use Eichmann Cable Pods. (Too many people were overtighting them and breaking them when using spades).
3) I do have one pair of tweeter modules that already have Bybee Purifiers in both the positive and negative legs. If these are desired, I could use them in the assembly of this pair of speakers for an additional $380. If you want the Bybee equiped tweeter, you need to act fast as I was planning on using them in a custom pair of SP/AV-2 MK II speakers I am currently working on.
Recommended Power:
The SP/AV-1 speakers are an easy load for most low(er) power tube amps but they are a sealed enclosure. You can easily run these with as low as 15 watts of tube power but to get more dynamic potential and really open them up, I would recommend 50-60 tube watts minimum. I have run these with our Bella EXtreme 100 mono blocs and even EXtreme Hurricanes at 200 watts of tube power. They are not afraid of this kind of power.
Ideal Power
Tube power: 20-100
Solid State: 50-200
