The Hi-Vi K1 might work, but its sensitivity is about 1.5dB lower than the Vifa, which would be marginal for use with the woofer array. Also, to qualify for the PE discount the Art Array is offered only as a complete package, so you would have to buy the Vifa tweeters anyway. I suggest you spend $275 for the full meal deal. If you have a plunge router and a circle jig it's better to countersink the drivers, especially the tweeter, but if you don't the speakers will not sound bad. I've used the Art Arrays with several amps including 3 watt 2A3 SET, 8 watt 300B, Trends TA-10.1, EL34, KT88, 50 watt NAD 320BEE, and 70 watt Monarchy class A solid state monoblocks. They will play to room filling volumes with the smaller amps, but for dynamic music played really loud they need about 25 to 50 watts.
