Near Field, Desktop Speaker Listening w/ a SEX

[Lazlo_Hollyfeld]

I’m awaiting for my first kit to arrive (the S.E.X.), and plan to use it as a desktop amplifier… but I need to pair it with some speakers well suited for jazz and with a tiny footprint … suggestions?

I think you mean "Overnight Sensations."

Yes you are correct, I lost my mind and can't find it. Don't get old.

Too late, I'm already old.

Blumenstein Orcas

Awesome recommendation … really intriguing and gorgeous set. I assume you’ve listened to them?

I've owned four pair. I was listening to a pair as the surround speakers in my home theater tonight. They are very special. Near field is their forte.

I second the Orca suggestion - have used them on my desktop with a sex for years. I also like the fibhorn 2 with the fostex sol driver. The fibhorn 2b looks interesting too. I bought a decware tiny radial kit but haven't finished it yet. Madisound has some speaker kits and the Mark Audio Tozzi kit has always interested me....

Yeah, they’re great. I use them in my dining room system now since I bought Jagers for the main system, but they’re really nice speakers. Clark is a nice dude, too, really helpful and willing to chat if you need help deciding.

Thanks for the advice folks! I think I’m leaning toward the orcas. Here’s to the amp kit shipping sooner than later!

I am currently using a pair of Braun L200 speakers with my SEX 2.1 on a desktop system.

What didn’t Braun make?

Has anyone heard the Lii Audio Raindrop-3? I know their larger drivers and cabinet designs are well loved.

4 ohm impedance, 85dB/1W sensitivity, and high resonance make those something that might be worth passing on.
