The Jager is of course the first obvious choice, but others have used Zu and Tekton products successfully.  You can also look more toward traditional horn systems like vintage Altec, Living Voice, Avantgarde, etc.

I ran my 45 paraglows with Zu Soul Superfly speakers, and it was an amazing combo. On all kinds of music too. And that's at half the power of 2A3s.....Might get another pair of Zus....    Steve T

Altec Model 19 clones.  If you have the room.  Monamours drive them with ease from top to bottom.  Big orchestra, opera, with ease.  And if you are into loud, Monamours play loud with '19's.

I'm running them with the Zu Soul Supreme. Incredible detail, balance and realism.

Edgar Titan horns here, which at 106dB would be happy with only a watt.

Should work well with any of the Klipsch 'Heritage' line, I would think.

I have used all of the following with good results: Jagers, Cain and Cain Abby and Double Horn Ben with some more modern Fostex drivers, Blumenstein Orcas with some Blumenstein subs, mini onkens, Omega speakers and Zigmahornets. I have always wanted to try Zu as well...

Re: Cain & Cain Ben's and Abby.  Recall that Terry Cain always showed at both CES/T.H.E and RMAF with 2A3 Monoblocks built by Josh Stippich of Electron Luv.

Even when he showed in the 'Big Room' at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest the 2A3 Amps always filled the room.
